“Remembering When…” (acrylic on 4X4 inch stretched canvas)

Jesse and Elise (son & daughter-in-love who live in California) got me these CUTE little 4X4 inch canvasses! I’ll call em “tinies.” The idea popped into my head to try my hand at some scenes from days gone by…before our volcano awakened and ate our only Town, Plymouth. So this, above, is the second one. (The first one sold right away, but maybe I could ask the folks who bought it to send me a jpg of it, just so I can have the collection here…you know…for the fun of it.)

These are not terribly time-consuming. Well, truthfully, learning how to paint tiny has been taking some some time to figure out. But my hope is that they will become not very time consuming, and so warrant their very affordable price tag. I might here add that buildings are so not my fancy to paint. At least that’s what I thought…until I started these. We change, don’t we? That’s a great thing about humans!

Here’s another Tiny:

“The Island House” (acrylic on 4X4 inch stretched canvas)

This is of a lovely building that was last known as The Island House,in Plymouth. It was a lovely art gallery and gift shop. Our little colonial Town was so much more special and pretty, really, than we all probably realized, back before it completely disappeared under meters and meters of wet ash that rumbled down the flanks of the volcano….burying all.
