"While painting with my grandson, I find my creativity is invigorated when painting on a smaller canvas. What I hope to capture, is a sense of intimacy that seems so natural with a smaller surface. While my average canvas is about 48 by 48 inches and ignites in me a larger narrative, I find the smaller canvas in some ways similar to Japnaese Haiku poetry, where the writer has to be pristeen with his choice of words.
"For me, the process of creating these smaller pieces is similar to taking a mini vacation." Susan
