Is Painting Small the Next Big Thing?

This headline caught my eye at the NY Times recently. It is interesting to read the reasons behind this trend. I personally like working small, partly because of the limitations of my studio and largely because I like the intimacy of each piece. I do have the need to make multiples of small pieces that I construct in a larger format later. Moving around the small paintings is like putting together a giant puzzle, it makes me feel like a child playing with wood blocks.
