Featured Miniature Property

i am very excited to be featuring this wonderful miniature project on my blog today.

“The Californian RV”

This amazing miniature property is a Vintage style RV (recreational vehicle) or caravan as we call them here in the UK which has been created by one of my American miniature art collectors. Darlene has several of my paintings in her collection and this is her  second miniature property project and is a gift for her friend in California. The travel trailer kit is by Green leaf Dolls houses in the USA.

I asked Darlene about some of the elements that she created and she says ……

I did make the curtains and awning from from heavy scrapbook paper and I also put that same paper on picnic table. My friends RV park backs up to Plumes National Forest in Cannon Dam California. The trees there are huge with pinecones on them. I used some of the baby pinecones and pine needles from her property.

The detail is wonderful and a lot of work and time has gone into creating this miniature property, the RV or caravan as we say here in the UK is set in its own plot with garden accessories and a seating area.

The attention to detail in the miniature work is lovely I do like the hat on the bedpost. And of course a piece of my art features on the wall. The Egyptian style cat fits in perfectly to this setting.

Thank you Darlene for allowing me to share your project on my Blog. I do love seeing my art in its new home.

Fairies, Fairies, Fairies …..

Lots of commissions this month so far !!! And lots of them are fairies ……

These three themed fairies I have just finished.

They were a commission a lady who has already bought miniature art from me showed her daughter one of my fairy art paintings and her daughter asked me to paint one for her, the mop and bucket was her idea and I know she has a new puppy so I thought I’d do these for her to choose from and she is having them all !!

Would you like to commission a Fairy with a theme maybe.

Miniature Art is not just for dolls houses or ACEO Collectors this size which is 3.5 x 2.5 inches ( frames are 3 x 4 inches) are great as unique collectible art and make wonderful gifts too.

I also recently painted these four fairy pieces, Ocean and Sapphire fairy have sold and are in a collection of miniature Art in Wales ……. I do lave painting these fantasy pieces my imagine can just flow with the Wax …..

If you would like a fairy painting in miniature painted especially for you please get in touch.

Commission Miniature Art 1:24 scale

How I painted a tiny Rose Vase in Encaustic hot wax paints

Last month I was again commissioned to paint for another 1:24 scale dolls house.

The brief for this commission was to paint four miniature pictures to go in a 1:24 country cottage style dolls house in Scotland. The lady has said she will leave it up to me, so I had fun painting two rose vases and two country landscapes.

For on of the rose paintings I took photos along the way to show how I did it……

Starting with my encaustic tools and wax on a pink specialist encaustic card ….. I then painted the vase / jug in a purple wax, adding then the greenery and areas where the main flowers will go.

Adding highlights and shadow plus a table for the vase to sit on and finally a silver and brown edge, this piece is just 1 x 1 1/4 inches.

More new 1:24 scale dolls house art …..

The paintings shown in this image are all sold but if you see a piece that is sold and would like one similar…. why not ….
