One of my projects this winter includes a new, 20-page sketchbook that includes paintings of nine places that are part of the National Park Service. Like many painters, I often notice smaller paintings within a larger work. Sometimes I even trim a painting on paper to “save” the part that works and discard the bits I am not pleased with. With this sketchbook, each 10”x10” paintings is preceded by a page where a 4”x4” square has been cut out. The square frames a “smaller” and often abstract painting. Only when the page is turned, is the larger painting revealed.
