Introducing the Red Hat Ladies in Miniature Paintings with Collage. I'm painting this series to sell at the Yuletide Event at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga this coming weekend. I took photos of the ladies dressed in their finest when they came to the Yuletide last year (and at the summer luncheons). Now I'll frame each of these in 5x7 frames and make greeting cards from them. What fun.
Remember all the photos from day 1 of this project? I had time to cut and tape them together how I saw them in my mind. And I feel like I made a breakthrough today. I can see the end now and very very excited about it. Now I'm free to paint! After I come home from driving on a field trip with my daughter's graphic design class (an international quilting and textiles show which should be fun) I'll put some paint to that blank canvas and away we'll go!
Now this was fun to do. I thought I'd take a break from painting larger paintings and create these little 5x7's. My friends and I brainstormed about what to make from these and I can't wait to do it!
