The Queens Platinum Jubilee

Miniature Art by Hazel Rayfield

An Memorable Time 1952 to 2022

As the Jubilee Bank holiday weekend comes to a close, I wanted to show my latest Royal Event miniature paintings. These are my renditions of our Queen, miniature portrait style in her royal crown and gown and as we saw her this week in a beautiful coat and hat out on her balcony at Buckingham Palace for the start of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations on Thursday.

An amazing response to my miniature art

Since I did my original “Queen’s Jubilee” art exhibition in The Gallery (my dolls house 1:12th scale art gallery) last month, I have had an amazing response.

A wonderful Jubilee Collection

The theme expanded and included many different subjects, from Crowns and Cakes to Guards and Beefeaters, Street Parties and Ladies waving flags, a Corgi or two, and the State Golden carriage of course.

I have painted commissions and paintings have gone to America and Canada and all over Great Britain too.

Some paintings are still available to buy please see my Etsy shop or contact me direct.

Platinum Jubilee Pudding …..

Its a Trifle !!!

How fun is this …..

Did you watch the Queen’s platinum jubilee pudding competition on the BBC sponsored by Fortnum and Mason, judges including Dame Mary Berry …..

The winner was a lemon Swiss roll and amaretti trifle by Jemma Melvin.

A fabulous winning pudding, I love trifle and will be making this one as well as painting them of course.

Miniature Jubilee Pudding Art

I was thrilled when one of my miniature dolls house miniature art collectors asked me to paint her a picture of the winner, she messaged with me before hand, so we were both on tenterhooks to see who would win and what I would be painting for her.

I painted these three and she chose the one on the gold background, which I have now framed for her.

I showed the painting online in my Instagram feed and today Jemma found the post commented and shared to her story …… how fun is that  🥰 seeing her wonderful creation painted in miniature.

A Phenomenal Response

I have had a phenomenal response to my new Miniature Queens Jubilee theme painting so I decided to update my blog with this follow up post.

If you read my earlier post https://www.artinwax.co.uk/blog/the-queens-platinum-jubilee-miniature-art-collection/

You can see the exhibit on my miniature art gallery.  This lead to more ideas and inspiration, plus requests and commissions inspired new ideas too.

Thank you for supporting my miniature art  

I want to say a thank you to everyone for supporting my miniature art, it is my business as well as my passion.

And on this project especially Thank you  to my collectors Sarah for lots of great ideas and to Jackie for inspiration, both of your enthusiasm for this Royal Celebration and the Platinum Jubilee event and your love and appreciation of my miniature art has been a great encouragement for this very special and unique theme.

The Paintings …… so far !

Most of the paintings shown below are sold, there are a couple of new pieces added to my Etsy shop and of course I’m open to requests and commissions.

The Guards, The Beefeaters, Teddy Bears, Crowns of course, flags and bunting.

The street party food, the royal icing on the Victoria Sponge cake, afternoon tea and one of the Queens favourite Battenburg…. All great fun.

The plaque style posters with printed words, sealed in wax then painted over are some of my favourites plus of course the lady in blue walking home with her red umbrella after the Jubilee party (Sarah’s request )

Ask me to paint especially for you …..

1952 to 2022 Celebration of 70 years.

2022 sees Her Majesty The Queen reach her Platinum Jubilee.

Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating 70 years of her reign in this country, the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

There are lots of events and celebrations going on for the Jubilee, in the life size world and in the miniature world.  I have put together a display of paintings in a “London – Royal – Celebration” theme.

Are you having a Miniature Dolls’ House celebration ?

The paintings shown here in my 1:12th scale Dolls House size Art Gallery are available to buy to have in your celebration room or diorama.

I am also open to miniature commissions in this theme.  Please Contact me for more details.

The celebration starts in June.

Thursday 2nd June : The Queen’s Birthday Parade Trooping the Colour – so I just had to paint a guardsman.

and I couldn’t resist a beefeater or two ….. ravens too of course  

Friday 3rd June : Service of Thanksgiving

Saturday 4th June The Derby at Epsom Downs.
The Queen loves the horse races and my ladies are dressed up for the races and waving their flags.

Sunday 5th June : The Big Jubilee Lunch. Street parties and pageants. So we needed a cake of course … Victoria Sandwich with Royal Icing.

And we must have flowers of course. I believe Her Majesty The Queen likes Lilly of the valley so there are a few in my Red, White and Blue Bouquet.

Take a Tour of The Gallery

….. take the tour ….. there is a reel on my Instagram page showing the Gallery and the full exhibition and on Facebook you can see a video too.
