Traditional Miniature Paintings
(All artwork and photographs on this blog and my website are copyrighted- please refrain from copying without permission. Thank you.)
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.

very nice! So lovely. The way you paint the coat it's fascinating!
Just beautiful Carol, that eye is wonderful and all that hair! My favourite bit to do! Best of luck at the Elder Street Gallery, lovely work as always.I'm very behind with everyones blogs but just wanted to pop in and say great work!
Thanks Italo and Tracy. Personally I was happiest with the ears- Italo, the fur is easy to paint! Getting that soft short, "nearly-not-there" stuff was a challenge! Tracy- the eyes are my "dessert"- I paint them in last (some folks call my WIP's ghosts!) I save the best for last- bringing them alive. :-)
So dainty and gorgeous, a real gem and I love it Carol!!!
Thanks Karen. I have to admit, this is one of my favorites. I plan to just let him cure and then buff him rather than varnish- caseins are nice that way- you have a choice.
Wow! Your paintings are amazing! What an incredible talent you have! Thanks for sharing...and your rice pudding recipe looks delish! I will definitely be giving that one a try!
Natalie (fellow cooking chick) :)
Thanks Natalie- I enjoy your blog too- I'm gonna be trying that BBQ sauce for sure! I LOVE to cook! And I love BBQ, and that one looked like a "zinger"!
ahahahahah Dear Carol, it's funny how you say: it's easy to paint the fur!!! It's like when I said to my friend: Czech language is so easy to speak :D You are great.
Beautiful Carol. Love everything about him/her? Touchable fur, great job on the eyes and the background is perfect!
