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.

    Your reflection on this one is great! I also like the way you make the water blur as it goes into the distance.

    My blog has changed to the link found in this comment. You’ll find your link there as well and thank you so much for your help.

    To me the ultimate goal of art is beauty and storytelling and you have captured both qualities extremely well. I can feel the silence one would feel if they were to happen upon this scene while strolling through the woods.

    Take care and thank you again!

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks!

    I had to quickly finish this piece for the Artistic Designs Miniature Show. It’s really cool, my Mom’s painting of a large flowering trillium won peoples choice at the show (I’m just a little proud of her). :D

    Hope you are getting a lot of painting done. :)
