From Big to Small

A week ago I was painting ginormous 8 foot square canvases, and today I painted itty-bitty 6 inch square canvases!  Variety is good!  It's been forever since I painted something small, and I discovered today that my small brushes STINK!  How on earth did I ever paint with these things?!  Clearly it's time to go to the art supply store (oh, the tragedy of that statement!!).

The top one I'm calling "Dazed" and the bottom one is "Naked In Winter".

Imagine the Color

Today I went to Mueller State Park with two friends to paint.  Well, they painted.  I drew.  It was delightful.  Warm.  Just the slightest breeze here and there.  The dirt smelled good.  The trees are changing with enthusiasm!  Which is why I call this "Imagine the Color"...an ink drawing is great fun to do, but it can never communicate the beauty of God's palette!
