abstract miniature painting, no. 005







This miniature abstract painting is an original, handmade work, and one of a kind. The painting is in acrylic and gold leaf on 140 lb Canson watercolor paper. The painting is finished with a protective acrylic gloss varnish. It is affixed to the frame with ph-neutral solvent-free PVA.

The frame is 2-3/8" tall by 2-7/8" wide. The painting is 1-7/8" by 2-3/8" wide. The frame is metal, with raised floral decoration, finished in gold, and considered a 1/12th scale miniature.

You don't need a dollhouse to display one of these paintings: it stands lovely on its own as a tiny work of art, perhaps on a miniature easel.
