As Uninterested As a Weed
4×4 miniature oil portrait painting on panel

The slight change I mentioned last week is I’m putting away the 5x7s and acrylic paints for a few weeks, and going back to oils. I’m going to try to stay focused on these for at least 30 days because I still have a bunch of 4×4 panels that I need to use up. I might pop in with a 5×7 here and there, tho, just for old time’s sake. I’ve found a new love with the 5x7s, if you haven’t noticed. 

I’m not sure yet if I’m going to buy more of the 4x4s. I’m leaning towards oh hell no, at least not at this time. While I love painting the minis, there’s a lot of work involved, having to come up with a different drawing/design for each one. Plus all the photographing, editing photos, writing the listings..blah blah. Quite honestly, if I paint larger, the amount of work is dramatically decreased, and I make a lot more money when a larger painting sells. The incentive to keep painting them isn’t there. 

It’s still going to take a while to get through all of them because I keep finding more stashed away (about 90, I think. ugh) that I’d forgotten about. I’m going to split them up over 3 months, and not try to paint all of them at once. Maybe I need to work on my little problem with hoarding art supplies? 

This painting will be listed in my various online shops in a few weeks after it’s dried. Prints are available now.
