Post 215: Small Works Show and Sale at Creative Brush Studio in Manassas

Creative Brush Studio Small Works Show and Sale in Manassas, Virginia

Today, November 28, 2021, the Sunday after Thanksgiving is now called "Artists Sunday". We have Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Artists Sunday and Cyber Monday - all geared toward the big Christmas gift-giving push and countdown to December 25. 

Artists Sunday in my opinion, is the more enjoyable one. Sure, the art is for sale, but it is also free to view and admire the art presented by local artists - ALL over the country. Here in Prince William County, many of our local art groups, art galleries and shows are getting the word out to support the arts, small business, and shop local - a great combo.

Celebrate the Art at Creative Brush Studio

Creative Brush Studio, located at 8951 and 8953 Center Street, Manassas, Virginia 20110 and online at
http://www.creativebrush.com/smallworks/index.html is now displaying art by approximately 35 artists - called "Small Works Show and Sale". Meaning that all the works are under 11x14. 

I have 2 paintings at this show! The Small Works Show is on until December 24 - but get by there as soon as you can - the treasures are for sale after all, and your favorite may get sold!




My small 6x6 "A Slice of Cherry Pie" is above.

Taking a photo does not do the art justice. You have to see it in person to truly enjoy the experience that is art.


Today is Artists Sunday


Artists Sunday, the Sunday after Thanksgiving (Nov 28, 2021), is dedicated to supporting local artists and recognizing the impact they have in enriching our lives, communities, and the economy. Consumers are encouraged to shop with local artists, creators and makers and purchase creative, handcrafted items and artistic experiences for the holidays. Artists Sunday follows Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, prior to Cyber Monday. Supporters include thousands of individual artists, economic development agencies, commercial galleries, and non-profit organizations across the country, making Artists Sunday one of earth’s largest art events. Participation is free. To learn more about Artists Sunday and promoting commerce with artists, please visit http://ArtistsSunday.com/

Post 36: World's Smallest Art Studio for Painting

World's Smallest Art Studio for Painting

I'm calling this the world's smallest art studio for painting but I am still betting someone can top it - and if your studio is smaller, I feel for you.

Yes, this one is in my office - a big desk where the monitor is and I can simply swivel the chair around and paint. Well, I live in a small townhouse and this was originally a small bedroom that I use for an office/studio. 

There are lots of paint techniques I would love to try but space doesn't allow that. Maybe one day!

Know of anyone with a smaller space? Post it!! 


And maybe one day, space....and a view.
