Organic Table: An Original Oil Painting

THIS DETAIL IS LARGER THAN ACTUAL SIZE
At 3” x 7” this is a true miniature painting. It’s modeled after a study I did once for a very large commission, which ended up being 40 feet long! I believe a miniature or very small painting should have a “jewel-like” quality.
When I was a teenager, I worked one summer as a sign painter. The experience was great because it gave me a new appreciation for doing a small study, then translating it into a much larger scale. It was good training for later study in painting as fine art because it taught me to pay attention to the size and scale of things. The detail you see above is about one third larger than actual size of the painting.
