TRADING CARDS





There's a new fad in artists circles - trading cards. They are 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. You paint/draw/whatever one for each of your friends, and they do the same, then you trade. Voila - you have lots of interesting original mini paintings to remember your friends by.

We did this in class about three weeks ago, right around Mothers Day. I did a portrait of each person in our class for my trading cards. (Yes, it is hard to paint a likeness so small.) The portraits are, in order: Mary, Paul, Kathy, Ginger, June, Joane, Joan, Maryanne, and Sandy M.

The seven other cards are by others in the class. I really loved getting them! Thank you Kathy, Joan, Sandy, June, Joane, Ginger, and Maryanne.
