A Little Paint - Miniature Paintings for Exhibition 1 of 5

November 25th, 2005 at 10:37 pm (Birds, Floral, Miniatures, New Paintings, Paintings, Songbirds)

Here is one of my new miniature paintings for the Miller Gallery’s "Objects of Desire XIV - Holiday Miniature Exhibition". Visit our "What’s New" page for more information about the event.

For this exhibition we painted the paintings 1/6th scale so I was excited to plan this painting of a ruby throated hummingbird approaching some foxglove - this painting is 3/4 x 1 - it is the smallest painting I have ever painted! emoticon

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
