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.

Beautiful! Both Sammy and his portrait...
Nice portrait Carol; is it a mini or a larger work?
It's a larger work Mona. 20x16 I think it was. I'm not doing many minis at the moment.
Awwww!! Sammy is a sweetie!
Yes, Deb, he really is a sweetie pie. :-) I just love dogs, chihuahuas especially!!!
