MY REACTION:  You just never know when it comes to matters of the heart.

CONTENT:  A lovely little bat for you.  A fresh new start.  A simple floating heart.  A second chance

Bats are a symbol of rebirth in many Native traditions.

ABOUT TINY ART:  I bought a set of three tiny paintings about 15 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.

In the Summer of 2004, I began creating a series of 1,000 unique miniature paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Each piece in the series is numbered, signed and dated. The subject matter runs 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. 
These tiny pieces do not have traditional titles, only numbers. And I will not be writing about each individual piece as extensively as I do with my larger sized work. I want to be able to offer these pieces as affordably as possible, so I am cutting out some of the "frills".

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 for really teeny ones and I am using some magnifying tools to keep me from going blind.

ARTISTIC CONCERNS:  This is a mixture of knife painting and traditional brush painting with layers of color and some fine detail work.  Lots of expressive little surprises in this one.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:  This piece is on a small masonite panel.  The sides are unfinished.  It can be easily and affordably framed as it requires no matting or glass.  This one also shows well on a small display stand.

ORIGINAL ART:  This unusual little painting has SOLD.

UNIQUE CARDS, PRINTS AND MERCHANDISE:  This piece is currently available as a BEAUTIFUL frame quality greeting card through Zazzle.  They make the nicest cards I have ever seen anywhere.  Prints and merchandise featuring this image may also be available.
