Another Day, Another Artistic Deadline

The Palm Springs Art Museum does something pretty cool put on by the Artists Council. The name of the event is 99 Bucks.
The philosophy is simple. Small blank canvas' are passed around to a wide variety of folks who do something creative with them. The artwork is then gathered together and displayed at the gallery unsigned and anonymous. All artwork is sold for a flat rate of $99.
There are two main twists.

First off, no one is sure who painted what. Famous people participate in this event, so each work has a chance of having been done by a known public figure.
Secondly, not all of the famous people are known for their art. So there's an equal chance that a certain work will be painted by Ringo Starr, Angelina Jolie, or Mr. Snuffles the painting cat.

So while it is intimidating to have something displayed alongside a well known artist, I think I can hold my own against Ringo. Heck, I'll even give Mr. Snuffles a run for his money.

What I'm really concerned about is the fact that the canvas is small and rough. Each canvas only measures about 5"x7", which means the image is going to be pretty small. So this will need lots of fine detail to keep it from being a collection of paint smudges. However, this is being painted on normal canvas, which is a rough surface that actually swallows fine lines and detail work. Somehow I'm going to have to not only come up with a fitting image, but use some technique that will allow me to show complex details on a grainy surface.
