James Panero photo-blogs a visit the the studio of painter James Little. The exhibition James Little: Recent Work will be on view at June Kelly Gallery, New York from May 16 – June 18, 2013.

Panero's photo essay documents Little's studio, materials, and process which come together, Panero writes, to realize "a rhythmic sense of composition." He continues: "Shapes, colors, and values all work together to energize the paintings. Little's process requires constant adjustments and an attention to detail. Given the time he puts into each work, he may only create four large paintings a year."
