The Art Exchange Miniature Show

I just finished the last of two paintings which I will enter into The Art Exchange Miniature Show. This is the 7th annual juried show and will run from Jan. 30th to Feb.18th. with the Opening Reception on Feb.3rd.   I can hardly wait to see the entries this year. Every year there are some really exciting and surprising pieces in this show and many fine miniature paintings too. If you are running short of wall space, this is a great place to find some wonderful original art that can be a great addition to your collection without demanding a large place to display it !

Playing With My New Pen

A few days ago I purchased a new pen and have been having a great time trying it out. This is what I have done with the new pen.
This sketch was started in my car on a street in the Woodfield area of London and then finished at home.

While my husband enjoyed watching a hockey game, I sketched this part of our family room.

This was my first effort with the new pen. It's an ornamental cabbage that was one of the flowers in a bouquet from my sister and her husband.
