Edit: I should be heading out to the exhibit towards the end, in the 5pm-6pm range, if you're in the area, I would love to see you there!
Here is my original lisianthus painting, framed and ready to go for the December Miniatures and Small Works Exhibit at the Whittier Art Gallery. Framed "Lisianthus Beauties" measures 5 1/4" x 4 3/4", unframed this tiny acrylic painting on vellum paper measures 4"x3.5". I intend to be at the opening, but I'm not sure exactly at what time though yet.

=====================================================
Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden. She has a hat of many flowers and a considering gaze. I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid. I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her. She is in my tiny sketchbook that measures 3.5x5.5 inches. I am using Col-Erase Prismacolor pencils, I like having the option to erase a bit.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in November. This is day 27. It is my 300th day of consecutive sketching since February 1st...
This is a sketch in colored pencils. You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like. I'm not really a colored pencil artist but I am exploring something new for the sketchbook. I will be juxtaposing my usual rough sketches with the colored pencil sketches at varying intervals. I tend to sketch very lightly, so these and my usual pencil ones are darkened a bit in photoshop for online viewing.
I am also participating in Sunday Sketches. To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

Your maiden is so beautiful!!! I love her with the flowers! Hugs!
A wonderful display for the flowers
What a gorgeous painting, so well framed, too. Great sketch! Have a good start in the new week, hugs, Valerie
I often wonder is it more difficult to produce a small painting as the work and strokes have to be smaller! I do like your painting.
All the best Jan
Thanks so very much Paula, Christine, Carol, Stacy, Martin, Valerie-Jael, and Jan! Small paintings definitely have their own unique challenges...
I wish you a wonderful show. Sweet framed piece and big eyed girl too.
All fine, and they cause imaginations to move.
Thanks very much Tammie Lee and Magyar!
