sweepy, I too love your paintings!!! They're so expressive!! I especially like the first one with the bright colors. You are very talented! My T gave me a book about painting for process; I forgot the name. I usually want to make my paintings realistic but I've tried some experimenting the other way. I just did one and it's scary; I seem to want to make weird squiggles out of my brush strokes; they look like worms/creepy crawly things!

I'm still doing 9 x 12 watercolors. I don't want to spend a lot of money on big paper yet. I have some acrylics in the house, and some canvas, and will get to them eventually. Long ago, I used them.

Do you or anyone know why they sell watercolor paper in size 9 x 12 but it's almost impossible to buy a frame that size? Most photos are 8 x 10 or 11 x 14 so the frames are made for photos, not art. But it's so frustrating. I have to make my paintings smaller to fit in that size. Why don't they sell watercolor paper in sizes that fit frames? Not everyone can afford custom frames!!!
