Back at you
\
One of my friends says, "back at you," when you say
anything complimentary. I like the sound of the
saying -- it's like a tennis ball coming back across the
net. In painting little works can rest for months on
a shelf, then come back at you asking for more
attention.
I was working on a big painting today and my pansy
painting from April caught my eye. Our recent cold
weather has been a boon to pansies, and once again
they're blooming like crazy -- so my kitchen table
is covered with little cream jugs filled with these
beauties. So I resumed work on this small painting
and it's almost done. I'll know it's really finished when I
sign it, and that hasn't happened yet.
An artist I know asked if I couldn't just crank these
tiny paintings out. This is 6x6" and the answer is
-- apparently not.
Have a loving-all-sizes day.
