| This little faerie is resting in her favorite tulip, tired because springtime is sooo busy! Size is 2.5x3.5 inches. |

Heather
Your detail is great - especially her eyes, and in such a small area. A job well done. I have never done a miniature before so I am not sure if I have the patience (my "miniature" is 9 x 12 as far as I am concerned for now :-))))

Thank you Frank for stopping by. Your comments are appreciated. If you can do a 9x12 you can also do a miniature (with a magnifying glass)  The miniatures take about the same amount of time as a larger painting. It is more about keeping the hand steady (and the cat away from me) than anything else. |

Hi Heather,
I really like the expressiveness of the eyes.

Hi Leon,
Thanks for popping in and commenting. I love doing eyes in case you haven't noticed They truly are the windows to our emotions as well as our souls. |

Love this one Heather I think the glow on her forehead and nose really make her beautiful skin stand out. And the eyes look wonderful. Nice work!

Thanks Jim(M),
Yes, I am painting more lately, have been having some really good days, and fewer bad ones. I will be posting an oil portrait soon - regular size 11x14 - that I have been working on also. Thank you for the encouragement. |

| loverly work, she feels dainty and fairy/elfish like for sure...heather? have you tried the lights that attach to your table that have a magnifying glass as well as the light to draw by?....i was gifted one years ago, and find it soooo valuable when doing graphite or cp tight work!.... |

OWS,
You read my mind! I have been using this dinky little magnifying glass and have to hold it which is difficult when painting. My new gorgeous magnifyer on a heavy stand with adjustable arm, 4" dia lens 10x power, arrived on Friday. I am sooo happy. I already have an OTT-LITE that I clamp to my table. It also has adjustable arm and adjustable hood, which is great when my eyes are sensitive and light is a little too bright for me, then I just turn the hood a little to reduce brightness.....
Thank your for your comments about my work, it is a great feeling to be encouraged. |
