Someone is getting a custom house portrait!

Just sold on Etsy, a custom pen & ink house sketch. 5x7"
Fun, even though I suffer angst that the buyer won't like it. I'm silly that way!!!

I guess it's getting to be gift-giving season. Orders need to come in early in case they intend to frame it.

Miniature watercolor - old steam train - Great Smoky Mountains Railway

This watercolor is 3.25 x 1.35". I photo'd it with USA 1 cent coin, for size comparison.
"Fading Past 0702" - From what I understand, this train no longer runs through Dillsboro, NC. So it's a glimpse of our fading past.
This painting is on it's way to a miniature exhibition in Pennsylvania.
Seems so funny at times how art traverses the world. From conception in NC, to birth in OR, now to PA, and who knows from there. Probably back to OR, unless sold - which would delight me no end. I never know what is better - win an award, or sell your work. Both are an awesome acknowledgement to an artist.
