"Over Christmas, I tried to figure out how to make a painting in just five hours. The experiment was really quite a failure--out of eight paintings finished, I can only stand to look at this one. Sigh. I just can't loosen up and rush through a piece.
How on earth do people make quick paintings? Or, I suppose, the question of the hour is, "How can I make a painting that I can stand to part with for only $50."" |

make it small? 4x6? I do that a lot. I quite like this one! |

I've been trying to figure out that myself. Even my "little" paintings are still all at least 9x12s. To get them to the point where I am actually willing to show them to people always takes more than the time alloted to stay in "budget".
I've come up with a compromise. I'll paint one small, likely to sell piece that I don't really like for every 4 or so big, complicated, "that ain't leaving my house for less than $500" pieces. Maybe if I get a bunch of the little ones sold, someone will want one of the big ones... | | (Kathleen Lowe) |
I should've listed in the description, that this painting is 5x7. It's tiny, compared to how I prefer to work (11x14 and 16x20).

Ok,where are the rest? This is very lovely. Different from the others but a wonderful difference. My son loves this one...serene. I love the little details in your other pieces but this one will call out to many. Beautiful...again...beautiful. I'm tempted to put away my paint brush! | | (Kathleen Lowe) |
