On Mt Baldy, Suzan had an encounter with a small owl who landed one night on her bedroom window sil. After many minutes of silence and staring, Suzan tried a soft "hello" and it flew away. She painted this owl from her recent memory for her son who is an owl whisperer. 
     Minikins are small Zen brush watercolors that Suzan brushed en plein air at the beach or in her backyard garden. Some are otherwise experimental watercolors. They are 5X7 and 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!
