Working small was a challenge, but I embraced it. It even made plein air painting easier, no more canvases flying down the hillside, caught in the wind! But I didn’t stop at 30 days. From 2014 to 2016, I painted hundreds of these little artworks, capturing different landscapes, different places, refining my process with every brushstroke. It revolutionised my art practice. Suddenly, I had work that was accessible for craft and art fairs. I was absolutely thrilled when The Art Market in Holmfirth accepted my application, and the local art shop in town framed and displayed a selection of my paintings on their walls. Watching them sell, knowing they were finding new homes, was an incredible learning curve.
