Suzan had an encounter with a small owl who landed one night on her bedroom window sil when she lived on Mt Baldy. After many minutes of silence and staring, Suzan tried a soft "hello" but it flew away. She painted this owl from her memory of that encounter for her son who is an owl whisperer. 
     Most minikins are small Zen brush watercolors that Suzan brushed en plein air at the beach, in the mountains, or while sitting in her backyard garden. Others are experimental watercolors while stepping intonew territories, and a few are repurposed  big brush pieces. They are 5X7 prints, matted in an 8X10 black or white mat, ready for framing in an 8X10 frame. Fun and inexpensive! They make nice gifts. This category will be constantly changing: watch this space!
