Miniature Portraits of Female Artists
For #the100dayproject I completed 100 miniature portraits of 100 historical female artists (plus a couple of extras). What a joy it was! Using a limited palette of 3 colours, I painted a portrait a day and shared their stories and then they were packed into mint tins to be exhibited at Sparrow Artspace. They have been protected with Dorland's Wax (a beeswax based coating) and are now available…and they fit perfectly into the miniature frames available at Michaels. 😊
