"Bountiful"

on exhibit

I am thrilled to have a wonderful write up in the blog for The Renaissance Gallery in Huntington, WV!
It is very exciting to be called an "accomplished miniaturist," especially when I feel like such a beginner. I currently have three pieces in their Annual Miniature Exhibition (running through December 12th). It's a wonderful show and I look forward to it each year. Please check out the blog if you have a chance!

By the Tracks - One More Miniature

By the Tracks

available matted and framed in my Etsy shop

I was determined to give miniature landscapes another try, so here is a tiny one of a track crossing in Stacyville, Maine. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the two landscapes. I think I will frame everything, and give it a few days before deciding!

The Topsfield Fair opens next weekend. I didn't get THE CALL to come pick my work up, so I assume that everything got juried in. I won't know for sure until after the opening on Friday. I am both nervous and excited to see how the exhibit looks. It is a HUGE fair and runs for 10 days, so it gets a ton of traffic. I also have 18 pieces for sale in their Art Room - it will be interesting to see if anyone actually buys art at this kind of exhibit. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Yes, you read that right - 2x2 inches! My smallest piece yet  ;-)

Here it is next to a penny for a sense of scale.

I'm getting ready for an upcoming miniatures show and decided to try one even smaller than my normal work. I've got a few more pieces to go, but I expect that this one will be the smallest!
