Maquettes

Maquettes are sketch renderings in paint.
The literal translation of this French word is "mock up".
In addition to larger works I've featured on this site, I paint small as well.
Creating art in a small format is an opportunity to work quick and fresh, with a direct
response to what's being painted.
Sometimes small paintings are studies. Sometimes they're stand-alone.
After finishing 15 planned, detailed canvases for my current one-man show, I'm painting some small works
on panel. Mixing it up keeps the process fresh.
