"Pocket Paintings - Affordable paintings that fit your pocket"
Small jewel-like paintings - dimensions 8 x 12 cm - oil on stretched linen
During the process... I 'unwind' by painting a tiny version or versions to try out radical changes or just to 'see it finished'! I call them pocket paintings...
These small pocket sized paintings are hugely enjoyable to produce and are extremely useful to show people in an attempt at a reply to the unanswerable question -
"So.. Paddy, what kind of paintings do you make....?"
I think about Goya and work with an increased intensity, concentration and subtlety on this tiny scale.
These small paintings are not 'sketches' they are fully formed large compositions contained within these dimensions.
