Patience I don't have for sure !
If I ever use canvas or anything this small, I am usually using it to test some kind of affect I want to add to a bigger painting. For some reason, many artists are making small paintings, some even a lot smaller than this. I could see it if you are using them like trading cards with other artists or some such as that. Some seem to sell well, but I'd be curious what buyers are doing with such small paintings display-wise, that lets them get any visual benefit out of them at all.
Like I said, they all look great on the net with the light behind them, but some of them are like, 2 1/2 X 3 inches ! Too small... too small ! 😄
I have seen a lot of small ones as you say. I was at an asset fair recently and there were lots of tiny little framed ones. Sometimes the frames were quite deep and it must be hard to see in and get the detail when they are like that when they are hanging up. Madness!
