#69-#74 4/6/19 Magnetic Produce

This project right here represents a blatant attempt to inflict my artwork on the public, as well as get closer to my goal of 300 paintings in 2019, and practice (of course).  Yesterday, upon waking and getting my carcass into the shower before work, I bent down to pick up some sock link off the shower matt.  To my horror, the sock link scattered in a 360 degree pattern and even without my glasses I could see that the lint was indeed a pile of ants.  Spring is apparently open for business.  What was so dang interesting on the shower matt, I don't know.  But on my way home from work I stopped at WalMart to get some ant traps.  Got them on the food side of the store (I know, right?) and had to walk caddy-corner across the store to get to the pet food section for an SPCA drive at work.  So along my route I had to pass the crafty section....and I found these teeny tiny magnetic canvases.  The retail section of my brain said, "Ohhhhh, cute, tiny magnetic painting will sell easy-peasy!"  I bought 6 as an experiment, they're only 2.5 inches.  This Saturday is the first Farmer's Market in town, so they likely won't be dry yet, but a month from now will be the debut!  Jewelry, with a side of tiny oil paintings...hopefully Josh won't mind me stepping outside of my "box".  I also got 4 tiny easels with 4 tiny stretched canvases.  They're next on my line-up.
