New swan painting

August 1st, 2005 at 12:08 am (New Paintings, Paintings)

I just finished my latest painting "Gaze of the Hunter - Timber Wolf" — you can see it posted in my studio. I am looking forward to be starting some new paintings like this piece of a trumpeter swan. I’ve been working on the piece (pictured right) for a little less than a day. :) It will be about 6 x 8 when it’s finished.

What's Miniature Painting?

The original meaning of the term miniature refers to technique and not size - it means to paint very detailed. Often it's called painting "in miniature" and it has been stated that a piece of art that is as large as a wall could be painted in miniature. My family and I paint in that style exclusively and have done extensive research as well as talking to quite a few experts about it. Here is a little more in depth information.

Favorite Quotes

"No amount of skilful invention can replace the essential element of imagination." - Edward Hopper

"As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress; each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward." Vincent van Gogh 1853 - 1890

" A painting is never finished - it simply stops in interesting places." - Paul Gardner
