landscape in a can

Advantages to painting in an Altoids tin, according to artist Heidi Annalise: your entire studio is exceptionally portable; the mint tin doubles as storage for your painting while it dries; and you can paint en plein air without strangers gawking over your shoulder.

She paints regular-scale landscapes, too – but if you’d care to see more of her teeny pieces, pop over this-a-way. Or just scroll down.
