I LIKE small

I love this shot from Nahcotta Gallery.....plenty of small art neatly arranged, ready to hang....mine are in there. I'd like to see how they hang all this....I'll bet they do a great job. Check out the show if you're in the area.

The Enormous Tiny Art Show 7, opening Friday February 4th, 5-8 pm.

Economy

I don't like to waste. The things that I appreciate in the work done are not always visible to others. The blue of the sky was a waste piece of paper, folded and ready to throw out, before it was rescued and turned a perfect blue for this arrangement. The 1000s of little image impressions, seen, appreciated, and mentally set, are not complete until they are fixed in time, perhaps with a little picture like this. My hill, my piece of waste blue,.....waste no more....and likely to survive longer than I ever will. This is one of the reasons why art makes sense.

Acrylic collage painting on paper, image size 4" x 4", external paper size 6" x 6". Soon to be listed on Etsy.

Wee Forest

I never know where these images are going to come from, but most come from looking into the landscape. Yesterday was a warm but overcast day. I walked deep into the forest...about an hour trek. It started raining about half way in...a very gentle, pleasant thing that didn't interfere at all. Returning home I stopped by the new forest before going in....the little bits of green are young evergreens peeking through....at this stage you can't see them well in summer because they are so small. This planting is only about a year old...there's been a good amount of die-off due to drought, but this plot should survive and fill in nicely.

I liked the relationship of the yellow to the white, to the grey of the sky. It was important to have the little trees just hint....and I knew that they should be done close to the end.

The 1 minute reference drawing was done in the rain....bits of smeared ink...
