or goal or deadline looming. This morning as I do most mornings, I read a blog post by Kathy Loomis. In it she was talking about sending a small piece of art to SAQA for an auction that will be part of this year's SAQA conference in PA. In the past I have supported SAQA by sending a piece for the Auction they hold in Houston, but I have not done one for the conference. Not sure if this is something new for SAQA or possibly I was simply unaware. The Houston auction requires a finished 12" square piece, this one, asked for a 6" x 8" unfinished edge which they will matt resulting in a viewable size of 4.5" x 6.5". Small, really small. I don't as a rule do small.
But since my muse wasn't up to tackling anything significant, something in the 3 ft x 4 ft range, I thought maybe I could induce her to work up a little enthusiasm for something really small and guess what. By lunch I had it painting and by the end of my studio day it was done and sealed in an envelope ready to mail.
I think I will put it in the mail next week. I hear the mid-Atlantic states are going to get creamed with up to 2 feet of snow in a few days. So I won't add more work for the post man right now.
Here is what the piece looks like measuring 6 in x 8 in
This is approximately what it will look like matted to 4.5in x 6.5in
