100 Mini Paintings this Year and Counting
A box of 100 3x4 Canvases arrived at my house about mid-year with the thought of Christmas gifts dancing in my head. Whether for sale or given as gifts myself, that was the thought. Here it is December 28, 2021 and I am on mini canvas 99 and 100 looking at me blankly. UPDATE: I added #99 and #100 at the end.
I've sold a fair amount of them, I've given away some too - especially this just passed Christmas. They may be small, but they be mighty (occasionally).
I've painted rabbits, flowers, mini landscapes, birds, cats, waterfalls, poinsettias, snowmen, dogwood trees, giraffes, hamsters, hedgehogs, sailboats, dandelions, bees, roosters, goldfish and koi fish. And flip flops, bird eggs, lighthouses and American Flags.
Some are painted to replace others that are gone. It seems that every time I paint a peacock, a sea turtle, a hobbit house - they disappear, thankfully. But I feel the need to replace them!
I read not long ago that paintings are little pieces of the artist that painted them, so when sold or given away, the recipient has a piece of that artist. No matter the length of time spent on creating that piece, the artist gives of him or herself into that artwork. It is wonderful to be able to share what I create with another person and have them enjoy it.
And wouldn't you know, in early December, another box of 100 3x4 Canvases arrived at my house, ready to be opened. Little pieces of me...
The Hedgehog, the Flag, the gray upside down Cat and one of the Black Cats are gone. The larger paintings, "Pink Parasol" and "East Coast Beach Sunrise" are both waiting on the wiring and their blog posts are coming soon.
