#21DaysInMyArtWorld

Today’s prompt for #21daysinmyartworld hosted by the lovely Tara Leaver is “smallest painting” — in which I immediately thought of these sugar cubes pictured above.

They’re probably not THE smallest paintings I’ve ever created in my lifetime. (Please don’t tell the Art Police!)

How do I name a painting? 

Well, sometimes a deep call rises up from the caverns of my soul. The earth beneath my feet begins to rattle and shake. Then poof! A big fluffy cloud of smoke appears and my title falls straight from the sky riding on the back of a pink unicorn.

Even though you can’t tell it in this beautiful photo by Darrah Parker — my hands are usually crusted in paint. ⠀

Be it canvas, my art journal, or simply on paper — I love to use my hands to smear, slide and slap paint around like nobody’s business. ⠀
