The Back Field, 2007, Oil on Panel, 12x16The first three comments on last week's Pay It Forward post were from Lisa, Angela, and Mary Ann/Indigomar and I have already included some small scale paintings into my last batch of work to send out to each of them. I also had plenty of comments on this and private emails from readers saying that they really liked the concept of this project, and now I wish I had taken credit for coming up with it!
So please visit these blogs and keep an eye out for their offer and participate in order to keep this thing going. If you are concerned about giving your art away, don't forget that it doesn't have to be the work that you would otherwise sell. Older work qualifies, as well as anything handmade, small and even experimental. I have decided to send out paintings only because a. that's all I seem to do anymore and b. I just got all of these really cute little panels and this is the perfect chance to do something productive with them other then letting them clutter up my studio.
PLUS, the holidays are coming and the piece of art you get may be a great gift for a friend or family member.

I too, love this idea and think I may jump on board.
I just found out about this project from Vivien! I'm getting one of hers and just posted to mine to pay it forward. Lovely idea and lovely to pass it on. I only wish I could have been one of your first 3!
This painting touched me today. The way you have expressed the branches on the right hand tree, the colors are very evocative.
oh sure! i stop reading blogs for a few months and i miss out on the freebies - at least i have a big ;) one of my own!!! - i'll just say "hope all is well" until i can get caught up through your archives
