Watercolor Miniatures - Black Capped Chickadees

Well, I have my next waterlily painting drawn on the paper but I took a break to complete two miniature watercolors of black capped chickadees. The miniatures are part of a group of paintings that I began for Arati Artists Gallery. My miniature paintings along with other handmade Christmas ornaments, by the gallery artists, were sold last December. I have really enjoyed the miniature paintings at 2 1/2"x3" as a break from my more complicated 1/2 sheet and full sheet watercolors. I soon hope to have a listing of miniatures available for sale listed on a blog page, but until then here are the two newest.

  3. Ann & Megan,
    Thanks for the comments. I enjoy taking a break from technically involved large paintings to paint a miniature now and then. The chickadees are a lot of fun.
