They seem to crop up every so often. <BR/>It is darn silly to think that only large art is art. To create art on a small scale is often rather more challenging. And the plus of small art is that you can put it up where there is only a little bit of space and you can pay for it from a small budget. <BR/>I love your small art!<BR/>AngelikaAngelika Westermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319727992399747779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303721257259754132.post-39051285976783873512008-09-11T19:47:00.000-07:002008-09-11T19:47:00.000-07:00I agree with Linda on mounting your art and sellin...I agree with Linda on mounting your art and selling them as 'miniatures'.

She said that <I>many</I> of the postcard size pieces she had seen looked like doodles. That would leave at least a few that amounted to much more. I would put you in the group that amounts to more. Your work is beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps she has a point about her doodle comment (not in refference to your work). I think there is a tendency for some people to put more thought into larger (and perceived as more important) work than smaller works.<BR/><BR/>You should consider mounting your work for framing and sell it as miniature artwork instead of postcards. And then raise your prices accordingly, because mounting them as art will increase the perceived value.Linda Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543497499701512487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303721257259754132.post-46162717607424549312008-09-09T16:20:00.000-07:002008-09-09T16:20:00.000-07:00sheesh ... that should be "...on the headS of pinS...sheesh ... that should be "...on the headS of pinS" (one painting per pin)my crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303721257259754132.post-28711700755719237052008-09-09T16:18:00.000-07:002008-09-09T16:18:00.000-07:00Sorry too many typos in the previous attempt...I o...Sorry too many typos in the previous attempt...<BR/><BR/>I once made great effort not to miss an exhibition of paintings that literally were done on the head of a pin. One of my favorite works on exhibition anywhere is at the Cloisters, it's a rosary bead about the size of a lacrosse ball that is halved along the "equator." The lower half is a carved crowd scene and the upper half is a hinged triptych depicting the crucifixion of Christ. Meaningless, of course, because who does or should care about art smaller than a lacrosse ball? <BR/><BR/>But seriously, I think that all too often people speak before thinking. Although there is a natural tendency to equate weight (or size) with weightiness (can we coin "sizeiness"?) and overt displays of effort (how big is that? how long did it take you?) with accomplishment.my crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303721257259754132.post-83834429275120570452008-09-09T16:11:00.000-07:002008-09-09T16:11:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.my crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303721257259754132.post-24727103505765919412008-09-09T15:05:00.000-07:002008-09-09T15:05:00.000-07:00For some reason I'm put in mind of the wealthy man...For some reason I'm put in mind of the wealthy man who wanted 12 yards of books, any books, to decorate his study.<BR/><BR/>Can we say icon painting, Mughal miniatures?
