Tiny Abstract

This tiny painting measures 8 x 8cm! I created this for a communal project, one of about 16 that will be framed together. I used watercolour, acrylic ink and thin tissue paper collage. I have never tried to create such a small abstract painting before, it has been a real challenge!

Hello Dianne,

This painting may be small, but it is truly mighty! You have achieved some wonderful textures and I love how the hues have melded together. I also find painting small a challenge, however when I do them as a group (so I am looking at a bigger picture) I seem to handle it better. This is really wonderful...do more! They work for you.

Dianne, I loove these colours, perfect spring and summer colours, cool and peaceful. Also love the new techniques you are exploring. xxx

You've packed a lot of punch onto this small surface, Dianne.
Gorgeous colors and textures! Love it that we are able to enlarge.
It makes me want to make art cards again, which I haven't done for some time.

Dear Kim, I think it really pushes the boundaries to change the format drastically - probably this is good to get the creative juices going. I have also thought that I should make a few little compositions, which maybe I can use to create much larger works.

Jaqueline, I am a typical ADD person, I get bored with any repetition and need to have fun with a bit of experimentation.

Hi Babs, ooo..., making cards sounds good, do you have some examples on your blog?
