My latest paintings have been watercolors on canvas - mini canvas! Most have been on 4x4 inch canvases with 1 1/2 inch wide sides which I've painted, continuing the watercolor image around on the edges. I also have been painting tiny canvases, little 2x2 inch and 2x4 inch with a 3/8 inch painted edge. I'm experimenting with a finish that will be waterproof and tough. First one I ended up sanding back off, it was just too foggy and unacceptable (to me at least...). I'm in the process of repainting that one (also an experiment - can it be saved?!)
Here they are--I've included my hand holding them to show a size comparison:
This first one might look
familiar.
This is my second home grown tomato painting---you can see the first
here:
Some holly from the field next door:
And last, but not least, a satsuma - yes, it's satsuma season! A favorite!
Next up, sealing these gems without destroying the colors. More experimentation... wish me luck!
