eight is great .....

...day 8 .... and this is my 8th finished piece .... it is TINY at 6 inches square .... i haven't done something this petite in YEARS .... really! years!! ..... i've been on a bigger is better kick for a good long time now ..... six inches hardly gives you space to do anything!! ..... but i did it .... and i'll have five more soon ...maybe over the course of the next five days ..... i didn't mean for this challenge to get me making smaller stuff ... but time wise, smaller sure is faster!! ...... plus, since i am prepping for a show in LESS than two months now, it makes sense to make some smaller ...since smaller is definitively less expensive (in my booth, anyway) ..... and not everyone is willing or able to afford a larger canvas .... so.... contrary to all previous mantras (bigger is better) .... i shall now be chanting "small is lovely too" .... so there you go .... i did work on one three foot square canvas today .... RED, red, RED .....though it is days away from being done .... i'm sure i'll have another tiny piece for tomorrow, day nine in my quest for completed canvases ........

i loaded a bunch of pics to flickr with this heart ..... this one, and this too are interesting glimpses into my studio, my life, my quirks ...... if you slide the mouse over them i've made lots of little notes to read ......

happy monday ....have a great week .....
