These tiny, circular miniature paintings are some of the smallest acrylic paintings I create. The size and format is a nice change from the slightly larger rectangles I usually paint. Size here, being relative of course!
These little paintings will be on display and available for purchase at the upcoming 10th Anniversary show at Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island. The show opens April 19th!
On Saturday, April 21st of this month, I will be setting up a mini studio and doing a demo on painting in miniature at Excellent Frameworks in Duncan BC.
The demo will take place in the gallery from 1pm – 4pm and is open to everyone.
I will be working on a painting, answering questions and offering folks a chance to try their hand at a wee bit of mini painting. If you are interested in miniature art, and are in the area, please stop by and say hello!
For all those who love miniature art, here is link to the 84th Annual International Exhibition of Fine Art in Miniature held in Maryland, USA:
MPSGS 84th Annual International Exhibition of Fine Art in Miniature
The show is presented by the Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers Society of Washington, DC, and the exhibition runs from November 19 – January 6th at The Mansion of Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD.
I am very honoured to have received a First Place for Landscape award for my mini painting titled “Morning Tide”. This painting was inspired by a morning visit to the beach near Tofino BC, another glorious place to see along the beautiful west coast!
If you love small works of art, please follow this link to the Howard/Manville Gallery’s 27th Annual Invitational Small Works Show. Located in Kirkland, WA, you will find a beautiful collection of small images worked in a variety of media, and I am delighted to be a part of this year’s show. Two of my miniatures available at the show are: “West Coast Morning” and “Tranquility”. Both paintings are acrylic on paperboard.
The last tiny details have been added, the antique frames selected and the paintbrushes finally set down…and I’m so very happy to be finished!!!
“Pieces of 8” is the title of my latest miniature painting project, featuring eight tiny acrylic landscapes, for the “Symbolically 8 Exhibition” at Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island. The show is running now through to May 8th.

I had such a good time on Friday evening at Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island, enjoying great company and a fantastic collection of beautiful art rendered on a small scale. Paintings, sculpture, pottery and so much more can be seen over the next several weeks during the Christmas Exhibition of Small Works.

If you enjoy fine artwork, miniature paintings and tea, then please join me for It’s a Miniature World Afternoon Tea on Sunday, October 16th, presented by the Lantzville Art Gallery and neighboring Riso Restaurant and Bakery.
The art gallery is lovely, the restaurant divine (I’ve already sampled their delicious goodies) the event will make for a pleasant afternoon. You may wish to bring a magnifying glass as well, to better see the miniature paintings which measure only a few inches in size.
The following Exhibition “It’s a Miniature World” will be on display at the Lantzville Art Gallery from October 19th – November 20th, located in Lantzville just minutes north of Nanaimo BC. The show will feature several of my miniature landscape paintings and a wonderful selection of fine artworks by gallery artists.
Tickets for the event are $55.00 each and can be purchased at the Lantzville Art Gallery.
