More small art

Having reduced one of my Kubota Gardens pen and watercolor sketches down from 8x10 or so to 3x5, and having decided that was fun, this weekend I did the other two Kubota sketches as well. Making things smaller was quite easy with pen and watercolor, much more so than painting with acrylics.  The only real problem was trying to work under the heat of my art table lamp during our streak of 90 degree days.  Not pleasant!

Here's the second of the three Kubota views -- in large size and reduced version, along with bits of my messy art table.

And here is the small version in a cheap frame.

And here is the third and final Kubota Gardens view reduction:

I didn't have a frame for it, cheap or otherwise, but I had a nice mat.  This one is also 3 x 5 inches:

And here are all three views together.  I like the not-so-cheap frame on the left, which is made from bamboo.  If I get these accepted into a juried show, I'll get that same frame for the other two to match:

Tomorrow I shall post about birds -- I did manage to get out twice this past weekend, at six a.m. when it was cool enough to walk around.  By 8am, I was done!
