Fish In Murky Water

Small paintings can be fun sometimes because they allow easier experimentation. They are more practical to handle horizontally than larger formats and there is less pressure that the efforts should be successful. Controlling water based paints on oil paint is challenging but in the case of these three new paintings, it created more or less the desired result.
