Miniature Abstract Flower


I wanted to show you what one of the newer miniature paintings looks like that I give away each month. This one is my Abstract Flower, measures 5" by 7", and is done in watercolor and pen and ink. I usually give away paintings measuring 3" by 4" up to a 5" by 7". So, if you read my blog and visit my website, email me and I'll add your name to the pot. I would also love, love, love it if you would spread the word that I have this drawing monthly so others might visit my site and email me. In the meantime, my knee surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday, hooray! I'm excited because when I rehab this knee, my crunch will be gone and they have said that I can actually jog, eventually, which would be awesome. That is, if my foot drop and my arachnoiditis work along with me as well. Anyhow, the promise is exciting. I'll keep you posted as to how things go. In the meantime, I am trying to finish my painting to enter into the Eastern Shore Center art show in Fairhope, by Monday. Hope I can get this all done and keep my sanity, but as always, if it doesn't happen there is always the hope of tomorrow. Peace to all today! Ardith

Hi Ardith. Good luck with your surgery. I have had several also. I had a motorcycle wreck in 1994 and still have problems from it. I have limits in what I can do also.

I like this picture. For some reason it reminds me of a court jester. Maybe the pointy parts.

I hadn't been here since I looked before doing my art cards. Wanted to see what kind of art you did. A nice surprise seeing the card I sent posted on here. So glad you liked it. I will be back. Jeanne

Hi...My daughter and I just saw your work in your sisters shop. Fabulous. My 11 year old was amazed by your work. Great job.

Sherry, thanks so much for the compliments, they mean a lot to me, especially on the days that I can't paint due to pain, which is quite often lately. When children connect with my artwork it thrills me in a special way because I was an elementary teacher before going on disability, I miss and love kids dearly. Let your daughter know I really never took classes except in high school, I am self taught and, looked at a lot of books from the library, but mostly practiced drawing since I was a child. If you can draw you can paint anything! Ardith
