I somehow got 2 Sammie photos and thought I had deleted one, must have also deleted the egret!!! Never noticed until now! Ooooopppppsss! So here he is. I just kept re-working the water until I was finally satisfied with it.
Carol, this is lovely! I do like it better than your first showing,and I thought that was really good too! This one is so luminous! Sometimes pushing yourself to go a little bit more can really make a nice piece in to a great piece. It's just finding the courage to do it and you did!!
Dear Carol thanks. I know, I have to write my posts in English too, but.... I'm new in Blogger :) But I will. Your posts are always nice. How did I find you? Fortuna! :)
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.

Thanks Barbara. Yes, it was worth it to push for that little bit extra. It did take some courage, but I'm glad I did. :-)

Well, SP, let me know when you're writing in English!!! Keep checking my blog- I have some meerkats I've started... :-)
This is a great miniature Carol. I hope this one gets submitted to one of the competitions.
Thanks Mona, right now I have plans to send it to a gallery show this fall, if it sells, well, no competition. I need the "green ribbons" most!
