NEW ….. The Street Collection

Miniature Paintings

I have been working on a new series of miniature paintings and I finished today. I’m calling this new set of six dolls houses size paintings “The Street Collection”

It could just as easily be the Village Collection or the Shop Collection but to me, today it feels like it’s all part of a street.

I hope you like them, I had a lot of fun with this project.

We have …… top row “Rose Café “ and “Boutique” – Ball Gowns and the Florist

Second Row is the “Pub” And then “Treats” – ice creams and Cakes, and on the corner “Joy” – dress shop

Each of these paintings are 2 by 2 1/4 inches, all original and painted using my encaustic Hot wax paints on card supports.The only addition was the Rose Café where I have added the text with a ink pen.

These are available to buy (at the time of writing, please contact me to buy They are £12 each plus shipping. I ship worldwide from Southend England.

Selling on Etsy

Nowadays I sell about half of my art via Etsy, it is an International Market place and many of my paintings go overseas at the last count 16 countries on 4 continents……

The Etsy platform allows for great communication and a way for me to connect with miniature and dollhouse collectors wherever they are. I like the way the Etsy system displays the items in my shop, which I am updating all the time, with several new paintings added this week.

Dollhouse Collectors and Miniature Art Enthusiasts

Thesec are just a few of my paintings currently online ….. why not pop over to my shop and see them in full.

Haberdashery In Miniature

A collector of my miniature art, who is a dolls house collector and miniaturist contacted me a short while ago as she was starting her latest project, a miniature 1:12th scale haberdashery, come dress shop, come Ladies boutique, in a vintage period style, and she asked me to paint some specific pieces of miniature art for her new project.

Commissioned to paint for a themed property

So I have been commissioned to paint for this interesting project and I’m having a lot of fun painting in the theme, with an open brief my imagination and Wax has been flowing.

I have worked with Tricia before on her Dance Studio and she has quite a collection of my miniature Art In Wax. These are some of the paintings for her haberdashery store, which is now underway, the building shell of the shop can be seen in the picture above, once the property is complete I am hoping Tricia will let us see the finished shop, with all it’s Art In Wax on display.

The mannequin dress painted panels are 13 cm high and will be mounted in the wall. The panels tie in with the set of four miniature pieces each with the project theme, period style dresses, sewing, threads, wool and yarn. All these pieces are painted in Encaustic paint on specialist gloss card which is cream in colour. The most recent piece, finished this week is the antique style sewing machine and and basket of fabric painting.

The two mixed media advertising style plaques, are unusual and a unique challenge of their own.

Mixed Media Miniature Art In Wax

This painting style like a sign, plaque or advertisement works great as a miniature for a dollhouse size shop. Giving a very unique and personal feel to the art. I have in the past painted in this style for property signs and personalised art.
The paintings are a combination of ink and encaustic Wax paint. I used my computer and printed the ink lettering into a semi sheen (and semi absorbent) card support then wax painted over the printing, this seals the print into the painting and then I paint the picture. Only the text is printed.
