"I have always enjoyed the challenge of painting small along with doing larger work. Painting "miniatures" or "little pix" is quite different from doing the same subject larger - when you need to put all your thought into a small space each stroke counts in a special way. Although sometimes I will do a small painting (either plein air or on the studio) then expand it, I also work the other direction. I may do a larger piece and then want the different challenge of realizing something similar on a small scale. I don't think of small paintings as lesser paintings and it's nice to have the opportunity to showcase them." -Del-Bourree Bach
