In reply to the discussion: Did some tiny pastel paintings this week, little landscapes. [View all]3catwoman3
(25,730 posts)16. Quite charming.
Among my most treasured possessions are 3 miniature paintings done by one of the artists who sell their works at Montmartre in Paris. Ive had them since about 1989.
They are quite tiny, about 1 1/2 x 2, and were creatively framed by a friend of mine, who is a nurse but did matting and framing on the side. She was very talented. She did a few other pieces for me. I never gave her any guidance or preferences, because I knew she would find the perfect matches.
