Tiny Pumpkin

Pumpkin - Tiny Painting (1 of 3)

Pumpkin - Tiny painting 2" x 2"

Another tiny painting complete (actually I did three of these). You might notice some resemblance to the pumpkin image in my blog header above (see larger pumpkin here). I used the same reference image for both. The large one was painted about a year ago.

A Few More Minis

Black-eyed Susans - 2" x 2"

Here are a few more of these tiny paintings. They are so much fun, but not necessarily easy. I have to constantly remind myself not to get too fussy with the details. I think the most successful of these are the ones where the details are generalized.

Grandma's Barn - 2" x 2"

Jericho Park - 2" x 2"

Red Graineries - 2" x 2"

These little paintings are available from my Etsy Store or you can send me a message directly.

Tiny Paintings

I recently was asked to do some little paintings to be used as client Christmas gifts for a design company. (Okay, so the design company is owned by my husband – I guess I should mention that). Anyway, I was so excited to try working on these tiny paintings and immediately saw the potential for holiday gift ideas.

We found some cute 2” x 2” canvases at the art store that came with a mini display easel. I decided to do 3 or 4 at a time (of the same image) – an efficient use of time and paint. Although the images repeat, each painting is original and different. I have just started on my fifth set, and I think I am hooked! I love that in 2 hours, I can finish 3 paintings.
