Today I finished my Mini Cow Painting. The size, as I mentioned earlier, was 3"x5". Sometimes smaller sizes can be more work than larger sizes. I have painted both so I can attest to this. I have painted 30"x40" paintings and the first time I did so I thought I would be overwhelmed by the size when in fact, I was quite comfortable with it and thought I could paint even larger! But working in oils on this 3"x5" has been tedious. I can't seem to work on one area without messing up another area that is close by. I planned on doing another 3"x5" in oils but I'm rethinking that and will possibly paint it in acrylics instead.

But now I'm finished (mostly). I will add a little bit of grass pieces here and there and as I looked at it this morning, a few more touch ups (that hopefully will not mess up the rest of the painting!) but other than that, I'm done. I have a linen mat and frame ready to put this in - after I varnish, of course -  just in time for my July show.
