Dollhouse Miniature Paintings

Since I broke my leg last week, I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. I did manage to get two new miniatures listed this week. I'm not sure how many more I'll get done before Christmas. I may have to work at this in the New Year.

You will find the paintings here

Hibiscus

I finally got this listed on Ebay. I had this entered in the Flower of the Month exhibition at EBSQ back in September. You can find it here: White Hibiscus As usual a 6" x 4" unframed OSWOA (original small work of art)

Art for 1000 Wells - Hauling Water at Sunrise

Better late than never. After my accident last week, and waiting for some technical stuff, I find myself behind in the listing. Here it is. I hope it does well.

To find it on Ebay just click here: Hauling Water at Sunrise Or type in TWBW in the search on Ebay for other fine art from a talented group of artists.

Adiemus - First song you hear on this blog

Adiemus, literally translated, means 'we will draw near' "The text in Adiemus is written phonetically, with the words viewed as instrumental sound. The human voice is the oldest instrument and by removing the distraction of lyrics, it is hoped to create a sound that is universal and timeless. Anyway, I love the song, and I love the meaning. It invokes what I feel to be an appropriate concept of blogs bringing people together.

Winter Scene - Water Wheel

I painted this yesterday. You can't see the snowflakes, but everything is covered in snowflakes and "ice crystals". Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it makes you chilly just thinking about it :)

It's an OSWOA (original small work of art) of course, and is listed here

miniature painting - Dollhouse Art

I managed to get two new miniature paintings done and listed yesterday. One is of my usual nightscapes and one is a daytime landscape. Both are approx 1 1/2" x 2" acrylic.

You will find them listed here

Northern Lights - Black Ice

It snowed last night. We got up this morning to everything covered in white. It was warm out and melting (not a good thing because of the ice) but it was clear, dark, and beautiful out. You could hear the geese on the lake calling to each other. Probably telling each other to hurry up and get south where it's warmer! The snow won't last. It's melting in the sun already. Just a little reminder that soon the snow will stay and winter will be here.

Black Ice 4" x 6" OSWOA (original small works of art) Oil and Acrylics

You can see it here

Country Christmas Eve.

Last year I painted a lot of Christmas themed paintings and put them on Ebay. Many of them were done in a manner that made them look like vintage postcards. Black and white, with just a hint of colour. Back in the day, that was what people mailed out at Christmas. I've tried to capture that look.

You can see the 4" x 6" painting listed here on Ebay.

Winter Cabin - Dollhouse painting (or miniature)

Winter Cabin (1 3/8" x 2") Acrylic

I went back to the original size. I personally don't like painting smaller. You have to leave out too much detail. This seems to be more of a popular size with the dollhouse people anyway. I'm still painting Northern Lights, although in this painting they are a lot dimmer in the sky. More of a hint of them, than anything else. Black and white (as usual with a hint of blue and yellow) Enjoy.

Listed here on Ebay.

In Flanders Field - Remembrance Day November 11, 2007

Remembrance Day in Canada is November 11. Please take the time on the 11th month, 11th day, at 11:00 in the morning to think of the soldiers both past and present who serve and protect our countries.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep though poppies grow

In Flanders fields....

Lt. Col. John Macrae -- 1915
