Thank you so much for you comment! And I'm certain that I don't sell them, the hassle of selling tiny paintings like this is surely not worth the money I'd get for them. If enough people follow me, and I could produce a slightly bigger painting a few times a week, and sell them for $200 each, then maybe it would make sense.

"Tiny Florida Landscape #3" 🌴 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper. My theory is that in these days of realistic computer-generated images from text prompts, people are responding to analog paintings like mine that look slightly amateurish, because they have a more human look.

@JanKreibach Thanks again. It’s kind of impossible to get a lot of detail into a painting this tiny. At least not with thick oil paint and textured paper.

@MichaelArtist4 In my mind contrasts make a picture livid. Combined with a reduced amount of colors and it is a recipe for a good picture. And I think these pictures work well. Not habing too much details also helps.

@JanKreibach Thank you very much! I admit that I have been intentionally trying to do a better job of creating compositions and color contrasts that will work well on social media.

@MichaelArtist4 And in addition, this one is extremely well composed. Everything fits together and works with the basic desire of orientation. Most people don‘t analyze pictures, but they feel it.

@ggioiamelissa @j_elliot_art Yes, I remember Pearl, including the original Pearl on Canal Street in Manhattan, plus I've shopped at three of their satellite stores. But they were already in a state of decline by the turn of the century.

"Tiny Florida Landscape #2"🌴 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper. I love using this "Canson Canva-Paper" for these tiny paintings. The texture is nice but subtle. I think it photographs very well. The French really know their paper. Do any other artists use it?

@BPArtUK It looks like Florida. Are those palm trees on the left?

Roll for creativity. Every session starts somewhere — this one started with a handful of dice and a red background that refused to be ignored.

@ArtFromTheShed Yeah, acrylics sound hard without how fast they dry. I like to mix a color, and then come back to it a few hours later.

I'm working on two pieces where I'm not throwing the rainbow at them, but like you (and because I work mainly in acrylics) I try to use straight from the tube otherwise it's wasted. No thanks required. It's hard to get traction on here. Supporting other artists helps (when the algorithm sends them, that is!) 😊

I'm absolutely over the moon to share that this oil on canvas I posted on here several months ago (and which got 3 likes on here) has received 1000 likes in just a few weeks on another platform. This means a great deal to me and people like me. We work alone, we don't know whether we are getting it right. We don't know whether people can see the time it takes to create a piece or the courage it takes to put it out there. Feedback, any kind, matters. Find your people, even if it's on another platform. Encouragement fuels creative growth. #art #oilpainting #selftaughtartist #wutheringheights #topwithins #artist #artistsonx #artista

@ArtFromTheShed Thank you for your very nice comment! I think I have quit the limited palettes, nobody appreciates paintings done like that except for other artists using limited palettes. My new motto is to use whatever tube of color I can find that will make my life easier. 😀

I've only just seen this, Michael so my apologies for the late reply. Your art is incredible, so evocative, and I note you have used a limited colour palette too on some. You are extremely talented 👏 I started 4 years ago, self taught with an odd class here and there. I'm all over the place in style and subject but enjoying having a go. I'll check out your new work as you post it 😊

@RClaremont Ah, I miss the good old days when houses were built with hallways. Hallways are great places to hang paintings.

Hallways are basically the punctuation marks of a house. Not the main event. Not even a proper sentence. Just a pause, a turn, a small change of direction. Which is probably why I like them. “Temporary Arrangement”, 35X45cm. #corridorphilosophy #accidentalarchitecture
