Salal + pink
Are you bored of these yet? I hope not because I'm still having fun with them. I keep playing with how much to leave of a strong line and how much to blend away. I just love playing with my paint because it really does feel like playing to me. I've been putting down the line, then the white, then blending with a completely dry hog bristle brush and I like what it's doing to my edges. On my bigger canvases, I used to just switch back and forth between the two color brushes but adding a third dry one seems to help a lot when I'm working this small. I could sit and push lines back and forth on my canvases all day :)

I am there with you, pushing lines with oil paint is SO much fun! I love these.
i could never get tired of these. they each have their own little personality. ^_^
Thanks very much, ladies! They're so tiny that rather than stash them somewhere on a shelf I've been hanging up each one on the wall in the studio as I finish it and I'm getting very fond of them :)
I think you are on a journey with these and you should see where it wants to take you- they are lovely and I am sure you are right about seeing them all together on your wall- its almost like they are small phrases in a bigger poem-Thank you for your comments when you came by... visiting- It's always great to hear from you!
