I've been making many, many tiny ink pencil paintings -- about 50 of them between February and April of 2026 so far. I've selected the ten best from these to make available as tiny matted paintings, ready to frame. Each one is a unique ink pencil painting (and in some cases, ink pencil and gouache).
Each painting is 3" x 3", done on hand-torn watercolor paper for some, and on others hand-cut watercolor paper with rounded corners. They're matted in a 6" x 6" mat.
I've titled each and every painting myself. (I don't use AI to title my paintings; I consider every title "given" to me by the painting.) Each one is signed on the front and dated and titled on the back. The piece is mounted with archival linen mounting tape on a conservation-quality mat.
