Last night I attended the opening reception for this wonderful exhibit of small works by talented artists from across the country. It is a collection of realism at its finest and smallest.

Each year David Simpson, owner of the gallery, features one artist who will show a body of work in larger sizes while each of the other artists who have been invited to exhibit will show 2 miniature pieces which must be 9"x12" or smaller. Everyone comes to the show with amazing art work.
This year my friend Patty Bailey Sheets was the featured artist and she also won best in show! Below are two of her pieces.
Jue: Two Pieces of Joined Jade BEST in SHOW |
Peonies in Pottery Jug |
Here are my two 8" x 8" pieces.
"Warm and Rosey" |
Bird Neighbors |
Although all work is realistic, the variety is wide. Here is a sampling from the show; works (top to bottom) by Dan Beck, Cecelia Cox and Paul Cheng.
