I have several miniature paintings in progress (canvas size is 3 inches x 3 inches) and I have been working on them at the end of each painting session. I tend to use whatever colors are already out, on the brushes, on mixed on the palette. On October 16th, I was using some blue, white, and purple to paint branches on my painting of red leaves (see yesterday's post). So I used some blue to add definition to tree trunks and branches in this mini-painting. Although I am working from imagination, I have in mind rows of flowering trees along the road at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, MA.
