One of the great things about the fairs is the amount of painting on exhibition. For painters it's a slice of heaven. Even if you don't love everything you see (and I don't), the sheer variety is satisfying. Here, I'm starting with some last-century work--because I love me a good Helen, Myron or Agnes--and then moving into a few installations I found compelling. Following that are individual works, some with details. I've posted the images so that they flow visually. You can tell that my preference is for abstraction, but I did include some figurative work at the end.

It costs an enormous amount of money to travel to and stay in Miami for five days, and while I'm writing these reports I'm not painting, which is how I earn my living.

As one who often works small (and to whom its often suggested that I "work larger") I not only love seeing small paintings, I love how one small paintings holds a wall or how an installation of small paintings offers so much to see.
