Many of my paintings are 24 x 18", partly because they're easy to store at that size (they fit into apple boxes). I love doing large canvases, too, the kind where you can't figure out where to hang them when you're done. Small ones? Meh.
This must change, my colleague says. If we are to do an art show together, we need smaller, more affordable paintings. Typically, paintings are priced by the square inch (mine are $1.50/square inch), so the smaller, the less expensive.
I have a lot of high-end wood scraps lying around from various house projects. Since returning from Scotland, I've been sanding and priming them.
To my surprise, when working with irregular sizes, I seem to get more whimsical. These paintings have been quick and fun to make. I'm hooked!
