Small Paintings And Painted Rocks

Smaller than 8″ x 10″, gallery-wrapped canvas. I also paint on rocks and leave them around my neighborhood or with friends and family. I usually create these while working on larger, more complex pieces. Using various textures, whether in watercolor or acrylic, means I have hours of drying. Perfect for creating a tiny creation.
