Not the flying kind but the kind that throw you off the beaten track. This happens to everyone, I'm sure, but artists seem to have a knack for it.
When my fabric for the "Knot Garden" came back it made my heart soar. I loved it...yes, it's okay to love what you create. You love your children that way too. I was so happy with it that recess couldn't get here fast enough.
About a year ago I had this idea of making myself work a 'little' larger. I'm not inclined to it, I like drawing small things...like my cards. So when I was purchasing some art supplies and saw nice pre-stretched canvases for sale...buy one get one! I bought several...and there they sat under my desk. [I did keep them dusted...but that's another obsession.]

Hi Kimberley, oh i do know that feeling of wanting to work bigger, i do to & set out with great intentions, yet my work always comes out small~ i live small & detailed lol, i too have some big canvases waiting to be used. Have loved catching up & seeing your work, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Ruthie!
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge canvas leaning on the wall...someday. Thanks for stopping by, always great to hear from you.
The lovely piece you did for the art trail donation seemed bigger, how'd that go?
KImberly, the piece i did for the art trail was a wee canvas just 6" square, as big as i dared ;) The trail itself was fab & my canvas sold in no time phewph.
ReplyDeleteKimberly, your work is just beautiful...whatever the size! I'm really liking this! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I bumped into you two! Ruthie, I thought it looked huge, so much work for such a small space! I loved it, would have snagged it myself given the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThis piece is 12"sq...I'm presently waiting for some dots to dry.
Seems we three all like to work tiny, Paulette your little beauties are so tiny and packed full of detail.
Have a great week you two.
