Since January,
Peter has been
creating nearly
a painting a
day. These
paintings are
the size of a
postcard or
smaller and can
be found on his
new blog 'The
Daily Paintings
of Peter
Mathios'. The
blog also
features a
service where
you can sign up
to receive new
originals via
email each time
one is posted to
the blog. These
paintings are
being completed
in addition to
his larger
studio paintings
and are pushing
him
artistically.
The painting to
the right is one
such example
titled "Nesting
Goldfinch" - it
measures only
5"x5". These are
a fantastic and
affordable way
to start and/or
add to your
collection of
original art. |
