This is oil 2.50 x 3 inches on prepared mat board. You can click on the painting and see it way bigger than life. I took the original photo at Heathcote Botanical Gardens a few years ago, I took some liberties with the plants in the background. Its by their whirlpool.

You did an incredible job on this, so tiny, also love the last couple of miniatures you put on. I wish my oil miniatures turned out as well, they still seem to be so lumpy.
Thanks much, I like it a lot too. You need to thin the oil paint down for them, and use a very soft tiny brush and or knife. I use a mix of odorless turpentine and liquin. If you use just straight turp. the paint can be too thin and not stick.
Hi Lori, thanks so much for that, I shall try the odourless turps and the liquin together. I don't know much about oil painting, or mixes to use, so is a great help.
