For our Fun-A-Day, we'll be making 30 (or more) small gouache paintings (5"x7"). These paintings are the basis of our upcoming "Cheaters" collection, a collection based off of "cheater" style fabrics.

"Cheaters" collection underway ...

Beth and I are working on a collection of original prints inspired by this unusual vintage quilt top (purchased at the wonderful shop, Harriet's Daughter, on Etsy) and cheater quilt fabrics.

 

Determining a palette ... still life with gouache tubes and some sketches by Beth

We'll be exhibiting 30 gouache paintings similar to the ones you see above in the fantastically fun annual art event, Fun-A-Day! You can participate in Fun-A-Day, too! Sign up at http://artclash.com/

We've also begun to list items in our new nautical vintage section, The Sea Shanty! Check it out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
