Although it's small, this painting seemed to cause me quite a bit of trouble. It's always a challenge working on a small scale with impasto paint. It would be easy to fall into temptation and get finickety with small pointed brushes and thin paint. I want to resist that as much as I can with these paintings. I like the paint to have it's own phisical presence so that it is as much about painting as it is about the object painted. There's a tension and dynamic about that kind of dichotomy that I enjoy.
