6/2/19 #109 thru #111 Tiny Magnet Paintings

I've had the magnets out at the Farmer's Market several times, but no buyers and no lookers either.  Perhaps magnet canvases are too weird?  I had them priced at $10, but I'm going to go down to $9 and put what I've got at the Wildflower Market in Waynesboro for the next month....see if any sell in a different setting with a single digit price tag.  I painted 3 more magnets today....two are repeats (the German Shepherd and the French Bulldog) and one is a new subject: a penguin.  I loved painting the penguin, but not so much the Shepherd and Bulldog.  I think it's because I had already done them once, so I was expecting them to go down easier (like Batman goes down easy now that I've done him a few times).  And these magnet canvases are only 2 inch squares, so it's not like I can make sweeping brushstrokes. I thought they turned out OK, until I took photographs and saw them blown up, then I was like "Blahhhaggg!"  I've watched several you-tube painting tutorials, and they advise to step back and squint at your painting periodically.  But I say, take a photograph and bring that up on your computer monitor...you'll find all kinds of things that need fixing!
