My Miniature Paintings

they are very good.my mum was an artist but the gene skipped by me.

Thankyou Tulsalady26,You never know untill you try, I didnt start painting till i was about 40 ,have a go.

They are smashing, so much detail, not sure which I like best, they`re all so good.......

they are lovely, I agree with you about having ago at painting, my mother started at 70 and has recently had some pictures on display at the local library.

I agree with Linclass. They are all so lovely that i can't say which one i like the best. Thank you for showing them.

they are fabulous and must have been hard to do with such detail in a tiny space!!

Looking at your paintings makes me think I should get my brushes out agin. They are lovely you must have a lot of patience.

Brilliant ! I think it's difficult to paint small pictures.

Thank you all for your kind messages,Yes it does make
your eye's water a bit but i enjoy doing them.
Teds, Yes you should get your brushes out and have a go,I would love to see them .

What lovely pictures and so small - do you take commissions as I have a dollshouse that would look great with one of you mini pics ?

They are all wonderful,and you are so talented,Cmsue.It must be lovely to be able to paint..thanks for sharing..:o)

They are brilliant, cmsue - you have a talent there! And as you say, it's never too late (I didn't start till I was 55, and it's fun and absorbing).

Beautiful! I do have a favourite; the snow scene with the river. Love it.

What media are they? Just wondering if they are acrylic - they don't look like oils?? The snow on the trees would be difficult with watercolour . . .

Thank you all for your kind comment's.Yes they are Acrylic, I only paint in Oil usually,Like my Elephants and Tigers, but i find it to difficult on the minitures, so i use Acrylic

they are great sue, so hard to do such small paintings, you must be patient, what are they painted on, love the birds especially :o)

Hi Sanbaz,thankyou ,They are proper bought canvases,The problem is you have to have a heavy base coat,I used Acrylic.I can let you have the address if you wont it

wow such small canvas, they look lovely, i couldnt do that small, im to shaky and impatient haha, do you do them for yourself or sell them sue,

Hi Sanbaz,I do both, I have a couple of friend's with dolls house's,and they ask me to paint some for them,and i Sell them,It helps to buy some more paint.

thats great sue, it gets expensive doesnt it, i find im buying something ever week, if not a canvas then paint or a brush, but i enjoy it so its all worth it.maybe i will sell some one day when i get to be good enough :o)

I have seen your paintings they are very good,i dont know about you but i can lose hours when i get started painting,but it takes me so long to do one,never mind its only myself i have to please.

thankyou sue, how kind, i do enjoy it like you and yes it does pass hours away so fast, im going to carols later, the lady who runs our ruesday class, she is giving me some time to help me inprove, really nice of her, then art tomorrow, anyway keep painting and enjoying :o))

Hi Sanbaz, our are lucky to have somone kind enough to give you a helping hand, I think that really say's something about that person.Very nice lady,Love to see your latest painting when its done.

hi sue iv done quite alot on painting today, started on the flowers and im happy so far, maybe in a couple more session to finish, carol said its looking lovely :o)), think when you like gardening it helps with flowers as we are looking at them all the time, will post when its done, but could be a couple of weeks :o)

Ok look forward to it.I have been trying to paint fuchsia's but not to good yet :))

i do think flowers are hard sue, if you dont get the shading or shape right its a nightmare, i tried a rose when i started lol, it was awfull, i will try again some time. i might do a bit more today as dont feel like going anywhere with this cold lingering on.looks like the sun is going to be shining here to, but best keep warm, enjoy your day :o)

Hi Sanbaz, The sun has been out all day here,so we have been back on the moors again, I hope you feel better soon,you have had that cold far to long ,a drop of port and brandy would be in order i think hehe

lol sue, glad you got out for a nice walk, thats what im going to do when feel better, think your right about the port and brandy haha

Lovely pictures :o)

Thankyou Terratoonie they are very fiddely to do but its a challenge :)

You must have good eyesight ! :o)

Keep on painting while your eyes allow..
You are very talented :o)

Thankyou so much Terratoonie,I will :)
