Small abstract paintings - super fun grouped together

This afternoon I added a new section to my shop with a number of small abstracts. I love painting these little gems. It's fun to use them to add a little touch of colour to a shelf or wall. And, somehow, small paintings seem to draw you in to see all the details.

Available here - www.scatterlings.co.nz/small_abstract_paintings_for_sale.html and on sale until 24 December.

"Refresh 1" and "Refresh 2" - abstract landscape paintings inspired by Central Otago lakes. SOLD

"Summer fields, summer hills 1"- abstract landscape painting SOLD

Colour Me Happy - 2 small abstract paintings to hang together.
