Back to my Work---topic SMALL PAINTINGS

I have been posting articles  about Art Work from other people. Now, I would like to get back to posting some of my own paintings again.

These 4 paintings are recently finished pieces. All of them are small-2 being 11 X14, the other two, 8 X10. Did you ever feel that sometimes a small painting does the job in expressing what you want to say? Must state that working small does not necessarily mean you are finishing a painting sooner. If you work with details like I do, small paintings can take more time than a large painting!

"Hovering Over"

"Hovering Over" is back to my Mystical Series,(see my web site www.PaintingsbyLinda.net under "Mystical" where I like to include sprites (elves, faeries,or whatever you want to call them) in landscape situations. This particular painting was created from a Plein Air series that I belong to, where we sit outside and sketch or paint what we see. So, I sketched and photographed these two statues of the Blue Herons, and added my sprite hovering over them.

"The Grey House"

Also in the Plein Air series, the same location, stood a guest house on the property we were working at, and I sketched the structure. "The Grey House" was my result-focusing in on the side of the building, with the surrounding area placed around it. I went for less detail in this painting- a stretch for me.

"Window Reflection"

Also with minimal detail is "Window Reflection", sketched and photographed at the Plein Air series site with the other two paintings were done. Here I sketched it as seen, took the photo, and worked the colors off of the photo.

Added to my recent paintings is the Painting"Surf". Not of the Plein Air Series.

"Surf"

The above painting "Surf", is painted from a photo I took while in Newport, Rhode Island. I have done several paintings from this area, some could be seen on my web site www.PaintingsbyLinda.net   under Aqua. The ocean is always very appealing to me- just had a fun time doing this.
