Now in its 19th big year, Masterworks in Miniature features paintings by Bev Doolittle, Edna Hibel, Carl Brenders, Terry Isaac, Dean Morrissey, Guy Coheleach, Simon Bull, Morgan Weistling, Robert Finale, Trish McKinney and more than 100 other top artists. Most works are priced from $350 to $5000. Appropriate custom framing is included.
Each miniature is so special. Some have been reproduced in books or calendars. Most were created especially for this event. AND THIS YEAR....FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME...BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT... a selection of Masterworks are available for immediate purchase — no intents required.
For other Masterworks, prospective buyers submit “intent-to-purchase” forms in hopes of ‘being drawn’ to buy their favorites. The “intents” can be filed in person at Gallery One where all of the works will be on exhibit through Saturday, March 20. Or they can be filed by mail or over the web.
Winners of purchase rights will be drawn at the close of the event.
While some Masterworks fit in the palm of one's hand, others are as large as 9" x 12." A rare few may be a bit larger. All are exquisitely detailed and represent the high quality expected of the individual artists. Genres include wildlife, portraits, still life, landscape, abstract and fantasy.
The artists are from all over the world. Some are miniaturists, specifically known for small originals. Many like Doolittle, Weistling and Brenders have carved out enviable reputations for full-sized originals — at prices that do not fit the average wallet. However, when such top artists are “forced” to work small, their prices become really affordable!
And how do collectors display the miniatures? Many find their way into wall groupings while others rest comfortably on small easels, bathed in lamplight. Some hang alone, featured above an interesting furniture item. Regardless of how they are used, they are perfect jewels.
