3 x 2 in. (original is sold)

More excitement over here, but in tiny form. While painting on canvas is ok, it doesn’t compare to my joy of painting on wood. Remember when I painted my tiny portraits last month? I painted them on canvas because I couldn’t resist the tininess and I thought that my favorite wood panels that I use for all of my paintings didn’t come that small. But low and behold in a recent order, Art Boards attached a tiny panel as a free sample. More jumping for joy. I felt like a whole new world of "small" possibilities opened up. The possibility for me to paint more tiny originals for you and the best part is that if you already have one of my paintings, these will fit right in. My plan is to have 10 more for you early next week. So if you missed out on them last time, here’s my official head’s up! Baby Jackalope is a tiny original I released today. They are all 3 x 2 inches, with that slot on the back, that makes them so easy to hang.

On another side note. I’m often asked what products I use in my creating. For all of my paintings, I am a dedicated Art Board user. I love, love, love them!!! You can find art-boards at art stores near you of course, like Dick Blick(where you can also order them online) and you can order them directly from artboards.com. I recently placed an order by phone, and had the pleasure of "meeting" the owner, Patrick for the first time. Let me just say that it’s a wonderful bonus in life to do business with such nice people, and Patrick is one of them. A fellow artist, he found a niche and created a business. Not only does he create a superior product but he takes care of his customers. Example: On (rare) occasion I have been known to paint my images "updside-down", which can create a problem for hanging....because the slot on the back is then upside-down. This happened recently and I mentioned it to Patrick and he offered to add another slot to the back for me, at no charge. Now if that isn’t excellent service?! Thank you Patrick!!

And on yet another side note for today ~ my inbox is overflowing with congratulations this morning, especially from so many of you who have been there since the "beginning" ~ I can’t thank YOU enough.
