Some Wine, a Bride and a Lighthouse

I worked on some stuff for my winning followers last night, but took a minute (actually 2 hours) today to do some little paintings.  I love miniature paintings, and I wish I had started making them earlier in my career.  They are so much fun, and I am really an "instant gratification" type of person-so being able to knock out a painting in less than an hour, makes me very happy.  =)  When I do large paintings and commissioned work, I have a tendancy to work for hours and hours and hours, without stopping for food, drink or bathroom breaks.  It's kind of ridiculous!  But I just get so eager to see the end result, that I forget about all the things I need for my body....  That wasn't the case today!  I would work on a painting, finish it and then take care of something I needed or hang with the kids.  And then it was back to the grindstone to do another.  So here is what was cranked out today:  an abstract, an word painting, a bride, some wine bottles and a lighthouse.  =)

They still need to be framed and then will go up on etsy.  Unless, I am out of frames... then they will be mounted on a heavy cardboard and listed after that.  =)

Also, remember that you only have until tonight (11:59 EST) to enter my giveaway!  Go HERE for that.

    1. LOL! That might be easier and certainly quicker than waiting for me to make the "right" piece. :) And thank you!

  5. Oh I really like the wine bottles one! How do you paint so tiny?

    Funny, that is why I am hoping to win your giveaway, because of the little wine picture and bottle. I wonder if my little dollhouse people are winos?

    1. I just paint like I would normally. I don't even use any fancy brushes! :) Well, I hope you win, and if not, the wine picture will be up in my etsy shop later this week!

  6. unos cuadros preciosos y tienes razon una de las ventajas de las miniaturas es que por su pequeño tamaño normalmente vemos antes el resutlado y la satisfaccion de ver el trabajo terminado
