Small Works - 6x6











Right before our big move to Moscow, ID, I was working on some small paintings (6"x6") on wood panel. I fell in love with some panels I found at the Artist and Craftsman Art Supply store in the University District in Seattle.

http://tinyurl.com/yecvcon - "Apollon Elephant Wood Painting Panels" - 1.5" deep

The first two are commissions, the rest were part of a show to benefit a Dog Rescue in Thailand.

Interested in ordering your own 6x6 portrait of your favorite pet? Contact me!
