I just received notice that the three paintings that I sent to the "16th International Miniature Art Show" at the Seaside Art Gallery in Nags Head, North Carolina were juried into the exhibition. The Outer Banks gallery was founded in 1961 (the barrier islands of North Carolina). A reception for the show will be held at the gallery on May 26th from 7-9pm.
The gallery posts the entire show online (and will remain online for a full year) – the only miniature show of this type that does this, that I am aware of. (artwork featured in the show is still being added – the online exhibit will be complete by May 4th) The show usually exhibits over 600 works of art by artists from around the world. The miniature show will run May 4, 2007 – June 02, 2007. Visit the the event online by following this link. :D My Mom, Karen, and sister, Bonnie, also have paintings in the exhibition.
This painting is one of my new miniature pieces I made for the show that pre-sold before the exhibition opened – "A Little Unsteady – Whitetail Fawn". (My recent paintings "Ruby Throated Hummingbird" and "Marsh Evening – Snowy Egret" also found new homes during the pre-sale.)

Your hummingbird painting won best watercolor in the Seaside show. Particularly admirable, since wildlife art was not the jusge’s thing.
It will be hanging in our Cancer Center shortly.

I really like this piece of artwork as these sort of deer are one of my favourite animals….. ;D your paintings look really lifelike….. and as i am doing this sort of work for my Art GCSE, i think that you may have thought alot about the textures and fur directions on this deer to make it successful. I like (!)
Thanks, Marshall & Philippa. I’m glad you like it. :D

You’re work is amazing, I’m looking at different artists for an A1 presentation on compositions and ideas for my Art GCSE and I stumbled across this page! You are actually amazing; your work is so detailed and lifelife and very inspiring.

Thank you, Gillian! :D …you’re sweet…
The detail and realism are all a part of what makes miniature painting ‘miniature painting’. :D ….I’m delighted that you like it!
Best,
