Miniatures

This group of paintings includes works up to 9" x 12" in size.  Many are either 5"x7" or 6"x8".  Some are plein air and some are studio paintings.  The pleasure in doing these is that they really demand the same attention to composition, design and technique that a larger painting would but, of course, don't require the same time to complete.  They are some of my favorite paintings and often stand alone as finished products.  Under some circumstances they can also serve as starting points for larger works.
