Number of Paintings

Here is an abstract painting I made earlier in the summer while cleaning the palette off. I must have been thinking of all the paintings done over the years. Just today, I completed my archive update- nearly every painting has been named, numbered, and entered into a spreadsheet catalogue. The numbers refer to the piece of paper, for example, this painting was number 3046. If there is another painting on the back, I add a small letter b to the number. There is actually a total of 3,665 paintings. I can also say that the total surface area of the paintings is 265,236 square inches (171 square meters). About half of my output was from 2020 onwards, when the pandemic led me to paint a lot more than before. At the end of the year, I will post another graph. The scientist in me is curious about these things even though they don't really matter!
