ABOUT THIS PIECE: I have two thoughts on this beautiful expressive little painting with layers and layers of surprising color. First, with the price of bread rising like it is, bread - good bread, at least - is becoming the extravagance that cake once seemed. And second, with our national dieting obsession and all that crap about carbs, soft white bread is becoming the extravagance that cake once seemed. ABOUT THIS SERIES: I bought a set of three tiny paintings about 10 years ago and I have been passionate about tiny art ever since. I love the intimacy of holding a work of art in the palm of my hand. I love how tiny art draws you in, begging to be studied. Whispering its story quietly to one viewer at a time. There is just something magical about tiny art. Beginning in Summer 2004, I am creating a series of 1,000 unique miniature paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Each piece in the series will be numbered, signed and dated. The subject matter of these new pieces will run the gamut, but I do expect to see all of my common themes appearing in miniature. Hopefully, I will discover some new directions as well. The only parameters that I have set are maximum dimensions of 3.5” square. THE PROCESS: Each of these pieces is a unique, hand-made, original work of art. As with my traditional work, I pay very close attention to composition, color use, line quality and lighting. I have not compromised my commitment to quality in any way. I have simply traded my usual brushes and tools for really teeny ones and I am using some magnifying aids to keep me from going blind. DISPLAY OPTIONS: This painting looks wonderful shown alone or in a grouping of similar pieces. You could frame this piece if you like, but framing is not needed. It could be displayed on a small display stand. I will include a stand for free if you request one at the time of payment.
This artwork will arrive protected with
waxed paper and sandwiched between sheets of sturdy cardboard.
