This guy is my latest little miniature, 4"x4". I painted two at the same time. I gave the other one to KJ and JB for hosting me last weekend in Provincetown.
He's supposed to go to YART but I also listed him on Etsy.
First come, first serve :)
I was commissioned to paint this Casablanca Lily for someone wo owns two other pieces of mine. I struggled with this! It's only 6"x6" on masonite. I painted it with acrylics but I just couldn't get the blending to work. I thought I'd take a chance and work in some colored pencils knowing I could ruin it. I think it helped, so rather than overwork it I called it finished. And she's happy with it, that's what matters!
Have a great weekend!

Oh they are both lovely and perfect. You do have to watch over doing a painting or drawing. That can be the death of it. Jerry Yarnell, who has a TV show, aways says, Dont piddle play or putter your painting to death. Well done.
I am always overdoing things. These are great! Sometimes I think small size is harder than big. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Suki
love these lo! the small size is perfect, my favorite.
They are both great Lolo. Of course I like the herring head best. :) I hope you have a great weekend too.
Very nice, lo! Those small paintings take a lot of talent and creativity. It's easy to see you have both attributes in spades! xx
I really like the perspective/angle of the bird head painting. I try to find just the right angle for my etegami images because I have to leave space for words. This would make a great etegami. :D
Both paintings are exsquisite! Oh yess....
But the Gull is so wonderous.....
I need an entire new house to hang all of the art you created that I covet!!!! (Well, at least I can buy a card version!) I lobe how Lisa referred to "Painting #1" as *Herring Head*!!!!
Love,
