an update to an ol' fave

I've been needing to do a new Cat Nap for the gallery for awhile. I always prefer doing new paintings over re-runs but this gave me an opportunity to try being more loose with my style. I liked how it turned out so much that I was thinking of keeping it but turns out Amr is very NOT into the looser style. So it's off to the gallery. We have NO wall space to display it at home anyway.

Letters Tiny Art

I'd love to get your opinions on this:
do you like the letters tiny art or
the flowers/landscape tiny art better?
Just curious - thanks :)

Tiny Art

I've always wanted to try tiny art. This painting is 3" x 3"! I think whatever you are doing right now you should stop and go out and buy a few of these tiny canvases and tiny easels to put them on and go to town. Most fun I've had in a loooong time.
I'd love to see some from you!

The Setting

With all the recent snow that's been piling up, I've been daydreaming of spring. I've done this one before and it sold at the gallery so they requested another one. You'd think having done it before (twice actually) that it would be easy but no - I did and re-did the clouds several times. What is it about clouds that SHOULD be so easy to do but actually not at all? And don't even get me started on the trees... I do like how it turned out but I definitely am feeling a bit "stuck" and in need of some more art instruction. Preferably a place that also has day care!
