Painting Small

I've been part of an online painting group (Flora Bowley's Studio Diaries) that will be painting together until November 2016... and then have the choice to paint again together for another year (or more!). It has been so supportive for me, and has definitely been keeping me in my painting studio! Wait...I have a painting studio now?? Well... I have found a wall in the spare room, which I can't believe took me so long to figure out! I've been painting in the landing at the top of the stairs...on a tiny counter with all the plants, and a tiny easel. Well...the easel kept tipping, and I was running out of space on the counter, so I relocated myself onto a bigger wall, and have a whole table now to hold my paints. It is perfect!!

The most recent project has been to paint small paintings, and I found some canvases that were tiny (4x6) and had alot of fun with them:







They look quite sweet hanging in little nooks around the house.  I do love spreading out on the big canvases... and this was a change of pace. :)

Happy Solstice...
