This multi-media piece was painted on tissue paper which was then mounted on a canvas sheet. The illustration shows a kitty and her little bird friend saying goodbye as the sun sets on their day.

We all know one, love one, a person who can’t walk away from a garage sale. She’ll turn the car around in the middle of the street or leap over fences to grab a cheap doodad. There we are spectators in her compulsion. Helpless to stop her we choke on the dust she leaves behind as she dives for that very special doily. Thirty-five cents, a quarter, the sound of such words makes her drool. Will she ever stop? Is there help for her? Will there ever be a Garage Sale Support Group for people addicted to other people’s junk sitting on the side of the road? If there is such a group surely they can help the woman in this painting who totally lost control when the homeowner extended her sale by one day.

From the beak you can see this is a male swan, a cob. His arms are stretched wide where a star bounces from his wing and spreads light across the sky.

I confess, I love era paintings, tapestry, paisley, mismatch patterns and oversize flowers. These are the inspirations for my experimental painting below.

This Asian-flair painting is version two of Simple Miss Rose. I have a feeling this isn’t the last of Simple Miss Rose. We’ll have to see what other beauty she can get herself into.
Her hair went from medium blond to slick black. I also added a pattern to her shirt and sleeves as well as a few nearly transparent leaves to her skirt.
Two days ago i printed off the original version in very small format. I framed it and placed it on my bookshelf. It’s so tiny but adorable. The image size is 3 inches by 2.5 inches. It’s about the size of a business card. I mounted it and put it in a frame especially designed for tiny prints. I think I like the size because they don’t take up a lot of room.
As much as I’m into art I don’t like a bunch of stuff on the walls but I do like small art. These miniature prints work quite nicely for small spaces and for times when you want to switch up art in the house. I’ll take photos of them soon and perhaps offer a few in my Etsy shop.
Thanks for visiting,
