Miniature Art – Not just for Dolls Houses

I love to paint my Art In Wax in all sizes, and the challenge of painting small in hot wax is great fun.

I paint as you may know from reading my blog in hot wax, often called “Encaustic Art” I paint using a variety of heat tools, irons and heated stylus tools some of which my husband has adapted to enable me to get more smaller detail into my pictures.

I sell of lot of my miniature Art to Dolls House Collectors and to ACEO collectors too, but miniature Art is not just for Dolls Houses ……..

Many people own and collect miniature Art

Lots of people all over the world collect ACEO size Art, an ACEO is a Art Card Editions and Originals and is sized at 2.5 x 3.5 inches, if you would like to know more about this collectible Art form I blogged about it sometime ago here : ACEO and ATC : Miniature Paintings and I still paint ACEO size pictures and also smaller pieces which are suitable for Dolls Houses of various sizes.

My Art In Wax Dolls House art is now in many dollhouses and Miniatures properties, from Grand Manor Houses to Country Cottages, from Boutiques and Shops to Hotels and even a Railway Station Pub and they are sold worldwide from my studio here in Southend England, I have had an amazing response to my art over the past few years and last month (October 2015) was a record month with more paintings, large and in miniature going to new homes than any month since I started painting in hot wax over 4 years ago.

Lots of reasons to own and collect miniature Art

Miniature Art isn’t just for Dolls Houses, a piece of miniature art can be framed or displayed on a mini easel or just free standing on a shelf. It doesn’t need a lot of room or wall space so can be kept where there is limited space, it also makes a lovely gift. See my blog post about giving Art for Christmas ….

I love all things Miniature

As well as painting in miniature I love all things miniature, I have my own miniature property, a 1:12 scale victorian shop created by my husband Adrian, the outside is a shop front but inside is a modern and contemporary art gallery Called The Gallery, which this week has a new exhibition of “Christmas trees” seasonal paintings and even has its own miniature Christmas tree. I also have a miniature dresser that has pride of place on a shelf in our lounge and there are of course many miniature paintings in other rooms, my office for example in which I am sitting to type right now !!
