This is a new miniature painting I started not long ago. A snowy egret. I have been doing quite a bit of painting, but not enough posting here on the blog. One of my friends wanted to see this piece, so here it is…

This is a really small miniature painting that is just about done now. It’s one of my Irises from our garden that should be coming up this spring.

It is pretty small - due to the 1/6th rule. For those who aren’t aware, There are a lot of miniature societies around the world that have exhibitions for miniature art and one of the rules for their miniature shows is to paint 1/6th lifesize or smaller. So, this little iris is under 1".

Here is how my new little bunny miniature painting is going.

Note that the colors here didn’t turn out as well as they often do on my scans - for some reason it looks kind of heavy and seems to have taken the ‘warm fuzzy’ colors out of it. Hopefully the final one will be better. It is turning out to be quite a bit like the little bunny painting that I did last spring that was 8×10. I’m not completely happy with it yet, but it’s getting there.
