My newest painting is based on a wildflower called bladder campion.
I just picked it in my garden growing wild. My daughter saw it and told me it also grows in her yard in Wisconsin.
I really like the distinct ribbing and white blossoms.
What is the difference between my large and small paintings in my shop? The answer is 12 inches. If a side of the artwork is 12 inches or larger, I will put the painting in the "Large Paintings" category. So for example, 9 x 12 inch painting goes in my large paintings; 8 x 10 inch painting goes in my Small Paintings category; 12 x 12 inch goes in large paintings, 10 x 10 inch goes in small paintings. Hope this makes sense!
You may have noticed my 8 x 10 inch watercolor paintings have been drastically reduced from $150 to $75. The price drop started when my supplier of museum-quality matboard stopped making pre-cut 8-ply mats with backing. I have not found a comparable matboard of the same quality. I even tried to order and cut my own 8-ply matboard but it did not turn out well with the mat-cutter I have. One needs a special tool to handle the thicker 8-ply matboard. They would actually be best die-cut or machined in the factory to get the clean corners and beveled edges required at that thickness. Soooo... I also noticed that it's quite easy to find standard frames sized 8 x...
