Mini Landscape

Oil on panel

2" x 3"

This miniature was painted en plein air with a palette knife in a North Dakota field. It was a fun day - I worked on a larger piece and then a few small ones like this. As I painted, I heard a rustling in the tall grass near my easel. I looked over to see a gopher peeking out at me. Its curiosity satisfied, the gopher retreated into the grass again and disappeared. 

Like an ACEO (art card), this little gem measures 2" x 3". It is painted on an Art Boards™ Natural Fiber Art Panel, which is 3/8th inch thick. The edges are painted white.

A small painting of the Provence poppy fields in gouache. A sister painting to yesterday's painting

Using Gouache
Gouache is a water-based paint (sometimes called body colour) and is an under-rated medium. It can be used as is for an opaque paint or diluted with water to give a watercolour effect. I normally use it undiluted and lay one stroke on top of another, trying not to disturb the stroke underneath. It has a matte finish which I like. 


Through the woods, one of my first gouache paintings, shows a different effect for gouache.

What are ACEOs? ACEOs are small works of art measuring 2.5x3.5inch. They are an excellent and affordable way to start an art collection.

I’ve been drawing and painting for my own amusement forever.

I can’t help it. It’s like thinking out loud.

As a little kid I’d get inspired by the Sunday comics. Then I would draw my own comics to make the characters do what I wanted. I still doodle while talking on the phone or killing time.

When I spot a scene like this I often grab my sketch book and knock out a quick study. It helps to lock in the moment. Sometimes I use the sketches for large paintings in the studio.

But the sketches themselves are full-blown paintings in their own right.

Later when they’re dry I mount them on card stock and trim them out. In the right frame they look great. They sparkle like little jewels. See how it looks in the frame shown here?

This is a local farm I often drive past, and today I took the time to sketch it.

I hope it brings you the pleasant feelings I had while painting it.

“THINKING OUT LOUD” is an original oil painting. It measures a mere 5”x3”. It is sold unframed and will be shipped in a plastic protective sleeve.
