Year end tally 2025, vegetable circuit

In 2020 during the downtime, I catalogued all of the paintings I had done since 1989 and kept it up ever since. Its been a regular activity throughout the year, to name, number and catalogue the paintings into a spreadsheet. The main reason is to help find the paintings, for example, my cousin bought some of the images and I used the catalogue number to find the paintings and do high res scans. It also helps me to see where I've been in terms of productivity, not that the number of paintings really matters. Picasso was known to have created close to 150,000 pieces of artwork, although many of those were prints and mass produced pieces. Most of the paintings in my collection are very small, postcard sized, although I also do the occasional larger piece. Since 1989, I made about 6380 paintings, and in 2025 alone, I made 1060 paintings. Including Vegetable Circuit, an abstract painting shown above. There is a graph at the end of this blog,

Here is a graph of the number of paintings since 2019,  per year. There was a huge jump in the pandemic year and it increased lately. For 2026 I might shift into less numbers but larger paintings on location, otherwise I will start running out of boxes to store them. But then again I said the same thing at the beginning of 2025.
