Daily Paintings
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.
