One More!

Just thought I'd post one more mini. This one is about 3x4, and it titled "Going in for the Night". I did several winter scenes for this show, and most of them are the moody, gray winter days that we all endure so much of the time in New Hampshire. However, this one is sunny because the shadows are what really creates the design in this one.

One of the hardest things about doing these tiny little works is finding a place to sign them. That seems hard even on a regular sized painting. When space is already very limited, it requires some forethought and sensitivity to colors to sign it.

Hope you can come stop by the gallery if you are in the area - I believe the show will be hung next week on Monday. What doesn't go into this show, will go into our group art show the first week of December.... Stay tuned!

Mini Madness !!

Mini's, mini's, mini's!!!

Sharon Arts Gallery in downtown Peterborough, NH will be hosting their annual Miniature Exhibit for the month of December. It's a great show, and I'll have a number of paintings there.

I went really small this year, and have nothing over 4 inches. One painting is only about an inch and a half tall! This one is about 2 inches long, and is titled " Strip Tease". I think still life artists are obligated to paint peeled oranges, for some reason, but I do enjoy painting them.

Here's another, which is a very small copy of a self portrait by Monet. Colors are a little better than they appear in this photo...

And one more.. which is called "Ground Beef". I am not showing my favorite little guys - you'll have to come to the Miniature Exhibit to see all of them!
