12″x8″ oil on panel

I have a set of shallow shelves by my easel where I put recent works to dry and look at. I put up the 8″square I painted yesterday, and chuckled at the fact that I put the horizon line on almost the exact same spot on all the 8″ tall paintings. And I wondered…could any of them work together? SCORE! I found an 8″x4″ that looked great with the square. I made a couple of color adjustments across the seam, but mostly I let the differences stand. I love them together!

Notice the horizon on both shelves.
