83. MALÉ MAPY PRAHY. 36 paintings based on a map of Prague

I took a holiday from high modernism and returned to working outside from the motif trying to purge it of my mannerisms and the general malaise of Factur, Sitting quietly meditating on the constantly changing motif, only to develop some new cliché I suppose.
