I've recently finished an egret miniature and also a great blue heron miniature. Don't usually do two birds in a row like that, and now I'm starting on a bald eagle. Must be in a "birdy" mood! Heron is done in casein. 3"x2" The egret is 3.5" x 2.5", done in mixed media (casein and acrylic)
I love to paint and I've found these miniatures are right up my alley. I love painting these little jewels.

A traditional miniature painting is defined by both size and technic. A true miniature is 25 square inches or less, and is highly detailed, able to withstand magnification and still look good, and generally the subject should be 1/6th scale or smaller. The origins of miniatures are ancient- originally illuminations in handwritten/made books, and later the beautiful miniature portraits that were carried and cherished by people before there was photography. True miniatures are tiny jewels of the artworld.
