2.1 x 3.75" Acrylic on CanvasI'd like to turn this miniature piece into a tiny book cover for a primitive folk art doll someday in the future... when I learn to sew. This painting was done for the biweekly artist challenge DSFDF. This time we were given a black and white photo of Pennslyvania farm country and asked by Karin to "invent the color". This was not simple at all, but I am pleased with the result and as always enjoyed testing my skills and learning something new.

Beautiful, Alice! This is so small. You have put a lot into this small space and created such a peaceful, beautiful landscape. I love your folk art!
Alice you did it again! fantastic painting for a storybook cover. I love the colors, movement of lines and the composition. Out of all of the challenge paintings this time for DSFDF yours is my favorite. Thank you for sharing, you truly inspire me.
Akiko, Thank you! I've never tried painting this tiny before but I like it!
Victoria, You are too kind. The challenge isn't over yet but I am thankful for your lovely comments
This is a really lovely interpretation Alice...I get a real sense of community. And to do it so tiny, you must have great eyes!
Alice, yours really stands out for me as one of very top favorites. It truly does have a quaint, folk art Americana feeling about it. I just love it! Great job :)
Alice i find myself here after each one of your DSDF challenges. Love your work - great colors and nice composition.Beautiful work.
Dana Cooper, Thank you. I almost pulled out my Jewelers 10X loop for this one but I resisted the urge. I've just came back from your blog. You have been doing some very interesting work.
Camille, Thank you. Somewhere in my mind I remembered the Pennslyvania Impressionist Painters. Also in my mind was how well you use colour. No one else has a color palette like yours.
C., Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a compliment. It always nice to hear from someone new.
Alice, I'd email you to say this if I had your email address but your comment on my blog was one of the nicest things I've ever heard. Thank you so much! (and by the way I LOVE WALL-E!!!!)
Truly a lovely painting!
Glenda, Thank you. You teach Piano and you can paint. That is cool.
Camille, Woe Woe Woe.
Alice, this is a wonderful little painting and a great interpretation on this week's challenge...one of my favorites.
Goodness your eyes belong in the museum! Not only do you see more than I see but you also paint what I don't see! Love the black outlined quality though I know it's not outlined. Great eyes lady!
Great colours! Nice cropped composition!
In small things sometimes can be found great richness. Your piece exudes this.
I agree - this would make a fantastic storybook cover. This is beautifully done.
Alice, this is so beautiful... I'm going to have to enlarge the photo and figure out how I missed this small hamlet. Your muted colors, punctuated by the brilliant red and pristine white, are outstanding!
What a great composition...the red roof really catches your eye! I can't believe did such a wonderful painting in such a small space! Great job!
Vern, Erika, Adebanji, Dominique, Claire, R Garriott, Carol- What an outstanding group of artist you all are! I just want to say thank you to each of you for taking the time to comment and for leaving such uplifting positive remarks.
I hope all of you paint an irresistable masterpiece to be remembered!
