SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

1×1.25″, acrylic on bristol board, framed to 2×2.25″

This charming miniature, based on Matisse’ famous 1944 painting “Annelies”, is in a gold wood frame. It can be sent either with a pin back, or with a gold string to hang ‘salon style’. (Specify which you’d like.) Tiny minis like this can also be beautifully displayed on small tabletop easels. It will be sent in a little gold box, just like a tiny treasure.

I chose a challenging subject for such a tiny copy and it took me ages to get all the details in place. The painting itself measures 1×1.25″. With the frame, it is 2×2.25″. The quarter is in the photo for size reference. It’s hard to appreciate the intricate detailing of this piece when seeing it online at larger than actual size!

The image below is approximately actual size, depending on your monitor resolution:

This is one of those pieces that’s hard for me to let go of. I definitely want to do more of them. I’ve selected a Van Gogh painting for my next tiny copy!
