Finally I have found an online art store that has enough small canvases in store. The canvases are ordered and should arrive here in about ten days. Cross your fingers.

Today; I go in my home studio and paint, create, get myself inspired while doing what I love the most - painting. Working from home is wonderful and at the same time difficult. Too many things that have not yet been done, not put away, not cleaned up, not washed or cooked.
