tiny delights
small paintings, big joy
ABOUT THE PAINTINGSDuring a heatwave in Maine this summer, I moved my art supplies into my bedroom and started working in bed directly next to our apartment’s one window AC.
I didn't want to risk getting paint on my bed, so I grabbed a handful of water-soluble wax pastels and started coloring over some old paintings I'd never been happy with. As I worked, I fell into the kind of absent-minded, flower doodling pattern I've been drawing in the margins of my notebooks since childhood.
I wasn’t trying to do make anything super profound. I was just trying to stay relatively cool and distract myself with some creative play. These are the artworks that ensued. I feel so delighted at how bright and soulful the pieces came out!
Titles for each piece come from real-life tiny delights — both my own and ones you shared with me online, as I posted about this project.
