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.

Here are a few photos of what it looks like outside my studio. Didn’t they say it was supposed to be spring? What can I say… I live in Minnesota.

Here is our recent showing at Decoys & Wildlife Gallery in Frenchtown, NJ. With over thirty paintings, this was the largest amount of our originals that we ever had at one place. The show was held on the last weekend in October.

As part of the show, the artists we were to go to a Halloween party and no one was allowed in without a costume. My family and I don’t typically do anything for Halloween, so going to a party in costume was a bit of a new experience for me.

A Winter Guest……

I thought that I would share a photo of this (not so) little guy. This is a toad that I took care of over the winter. Before setting him/her free, I snapped a few references for the next time I decide to paint a toad.

One of the nice things about traveling with your art for shows/events is that often there are some amazing places nearby. A recent trip to Estes Park, CO for the Arts for the Parks exhibit and tour was a great opportunity for a photo shoot!

Jackson, Wyoming

Our recent trip to Jackson, Wyoming was so inspiring!!!

One of my favorite photo shoots was along a creek in the morning light. We also did some photography near a misty waterfall as well as several fields of colorful blooming flowers — I particularly liked the beautiful back lighting.
