These are my "hotel" paintings. We have been staying in a hotel all week, and I managed to get some very small paintings done! I will have more to post tomorrow. Making compositions with the super small 2.5 x 3.5 inch format is an interesting challenge. Everyone should check out Jeff Mahorney's blog that has a nice series of small format paintings. http://jmahorney.blogspot.com

These are two more paintings from the show. I will be out of town, for one week, but I'm going to try to do some VERY small 2.5 x 3.5in paintings, while I am out of town (and post them, proving that you can do a painting anywhere... maybe.) inspired by Jeff Mahorney, who does wonderful small paintings.
