The third in the series of the tiny paintings, this one being the biggest of them all at 3x3"! A cute little skunk discovers a ladybug on a dandelion. I've also included a blown-up of the dandelion flower to show the detail of the ladybug :)

Will be for sale at AC's art show this year, along with the other little tiny paintings!

Thanks =D

I think it's the background that really does it for this one...but really, it's the biggest one out of all the other ones, and the others are just so small, I don't think I would have enough room in those tiny canvases for backgrounds on the other ones too :XD:

But that's what makes each one of them unique :)

what I'm curious over is how you managed such great detail on such a small scale...even the close-up of the ladybug looks amazing!
~hollyann:iconhollyann: 4 days 19 hours ago
I paint miniatures ;)

I've got one of those really really fine brushes that come into a very sharp point, which is what I used for the ladybug. It's also the same brush I used to paint the line down it, the polkadots on it, and the little highlight on it's shell :XD:

It also helps to have a VERY steady hand...which at times, I don't have O.o;

A skunk! I love it. Guess you are practicing to draw on the head of a pin?

Now who was it that use to do that....
