New Miniature Landscapes

Linda Mar Beach
Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Art Board

Yosemite
Size: 3 x 4.5 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Art Board

I have been working on miniatures for the last month or so to create enough paintings to get into upcoming shows before I get busy again, which would be anytime now.

Landscapes are not my favorite subject, but I actually enjoyed working on these pieces. Hope to do more in the near future.

The support I used is Strathmore 400 Series Smooth Art Board, which is made up of two thick smooth paper mounted on both sides to reduce warping. I bought it a few years ago to do an 8"x10" painting and left the remaining part in my closet. I decided to use it again for these miniatures and really really liked it. So I went to Dickblick and several other big online art stores to order more, but couldn't find it anymore. Just can't fint it anywhere. Strathmore must have discontinued this art board. What a shame!

They are both gorgeous, but I especially love the second one! Yosemite has always been a favorite place of mine.

I hate it when you find something that works so well only to go back and find it is no longer made. Did you try Strathmore's website.
