[Aquanet] Scoot painting

[NitaLeland]

I didn't say size is important; I simply wondered about the picture's size. One of my all-time favorites among my watercolors is a portrait of my granddaughter that is 6" x 9". When I think of all the teachers who nagged me to work full sheets (and I did for a long time) I sometimes wonder how many smaller "gems" I might have painted. Memo to all artists: It doesn't have to be big!

  I'm sorry, I should have been clearer.  I meant the size of the painting.
