These are postage-stamp-sized portraits of two of our beloved beasts, Pippin and Frances. I made these to fit in the pockets of an old cloth advent calendar for my children. I think they are the smallest paintings I have ever made. My kids have outgrown the cushiony christmasy velcroed shapes that used to live in the pockets, and so this year I am filling each day's pocket with a tiny treasure. Who doesn't love a tiny thing, especially a tiny hand made thing? I've been thinking about making an advent calendar for years, and this one has got me thinking...
And, speaking of making things, here is the birdhouse I painted for Madrona School's Annual Fundraising Auction--truly a house of birds.
This year's birdhouse was purchased by friends who are avid gardeners, and appreciators of small wild things, like children and birds. I am so glad to know it will grace their lovely home.
