New Work in Mixed Media Painting

What a winter - really feeling the cabin fever - I had a serious case of bronchitis followed immediately by gall bladder flare ups and then surgery - yuck.  That with the non - stop snow in Connecticut made for an awful winter - I cannot wait for spring. 

Since I haven't been able to get out much I did discover I was able to work on some small scale mixed media painting projects.  Normally I work in a large format - at least 14" x 16" or 20" x 20". 

One of the art centers where I teach Guilford Art Center in Guilford, CT  http://guilfordartcenter.org/

has a wonderful idea for a fundraiser called "The Art of the Cocktail". It features art the size of a cocktail napkin.  Arts center artists and teachers donate 6" x 6" sized art works for this fun evening fundraiser.  I had a great time working up these mini canvases for this fundraiser and then a good friend and fellow Wesleyan Potter  http://www.wesleyanpotters.com/
