A
friend noted that the self portraits were becoming more detailed.
"Are you feeling more focused yourself?"
If only.... Repeatedly doing something, it is easy for it to get rote, formulaic. These tiny paintings (hand for scale) are more indicative of wanting to work while tired and UNFOCUSED.
"If I paint really small, it will be over soon. It won't take too much..." Which lead to asking: "How small, how unfocused, how little detail can I paint and still recognize it as me?"
Which I guess is a kind of focus.......
