Little paintings

Karin Jurick is a painter who does the most gorgeous small paintings. I read on her blog that she paints on panels that have been gessoed BLACK. I thought I'd give it a try. I bought some 6x8" canvases and gessoed them black. God, it was like I'd never painted before. The first few were tough, but I am pleased with these last three. The first one is of the saddling area at Saratoga racetrack. The last two are of Cocoa Beach in Florida.
