The Other Side II , encaustic on panel , 24 x 24 inches , 2015
What became interesting was when I then wanted to translate these small 8x8 paintings into larger 24x24 or 30x30 paintings . Something changed . It wasn ’ t as effective to have just one tall stacking of boxes . I was inclined to paint groupings of stacked boxes . The paintings became a conversation , not only with the viewer which is always happening , but within the painting itself .
