A few years ago I got a hold of some sample Arches watercolor 140lb cold press paper that are small narrow pieces still attached to the glue. The original pads were cut and these slivers are the remnants. I have about 8 of these narrow pads and reminded me of bookmarks. Over the years, I have painted landscape scenes and other small glimpses of other worlds.
Below are two places in Europe that a) I have seen in person or b) would like to see in person.
The portrait/vertical scene is the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival just about an hour from my home. I've never been here, but I might just make a day trip soon. The landscape horizontal scene are turf houses in Iceland, which I have seen. I was disappointed though I couldn't go into these.
Painted with Daniel Smith watercolors, and these measure about 2" by 9". I will get them laminated someday as bookmarks, or just cute little windows to another place in time and space.
