These 9 x 12” little gems on loose canvas emerged from the “Energizing and Experimental Abstract Painting in Acrylics & Mixed Media”  workshops  that I teach. The workshops focus on experimentation & creative process. Students learned the fundamentals from watching demonstrations and then doing it for themselves. I had the students and myself work on loose canvas pad pieces and many of them, through the course of progressive workshops, became these “little gems” the unique original paintings you see here.
