Good things come in small packages or something like that. I found an old painting that was done on 300 pound paper, that is very thick like the cardboard used in boxes. It's 100% acid free rag, cotton, with a lifespan of over 200 years- not that we will ever find out. The initial painting was not very good in fact I had already painted on both sides which I do on occasion if a painting is bad or I want to try something experimental. There was a lot of blank space so I cut out all the white parts of the paper and made a number of small paintings on the pieces. The paintings are quite small, they are a composites of several small doodles made during a long meeting at work with a Dali-like surrealism. Here are the six of them, in my longest blog ever! Reading across they are: Boxes, Second Samples, Kappa, Safe T, Reverse Flow, and Lost Pieces.
