Postcards From The Park

It’s May – that means summer in Yellowstone is coming fast. The question we’ve been kicking around is….So what should we do NEW at the gallery for this summer season?? With 2 artists brainstorming, lack of ideas is not the problem! One that has made the cut is "Postcards From The Park"....small oil paintings.… 4” x 6” size – tiny. Some Yellowstone plein air, some wildlife, some experimental.

I recently tried a few and found them to be wonderfully liberating. When I work on a large canvas, it can take A LOT of brush strokes to make a difference. On a small one, I can see if I'm headed in the right direction in a stroke or two. And you learn a lot that way – quickly.  I’m loving it. What a great way to work out some ideas I’ve had kicking around in my head for a long while. (You know - so many ideas, so little time.)

Soon, you’ll be seeing some of those ideas finally get a chance to make it down my arm and out onto the canvas. Now, I have to figure out how we’re going to display them and frame them... Maybe even unframed??... Maybe they should pop up as the 'Painting Of The Day' from Yellowstone, etc. etc.  Here are a couple to show you a preview of what I’m up to….

(And, of course, if you have any ideas to add to the mix or suggestions for what you'd like to see, we'd thoroughly appreciate the input!)
