The miniature show is hanging at the Renaissance Gallery , and it's an amazing collection of small works. "I have seen many of these artists grow in their creative endeavors through the twelve years we have been privileged to see and enjoy having their work in our care. It's always a thrill to see new work each year and to watch our entrants as they become proficient miniaturists," explained Fern Christian.

"We want to thank our loyal artists who return each year with their beautiful submissions, and to those of you who are first time entrants, I wish you could be here sometime when a juror first sees the hundreds of tiny painting he will have to jury! Most are awe-struck by the ability of artists to express the depth in landscapes, the delicate skin tones in portraits, the strength and character of the human form, and so forth .You just have to see for yourself, if you are not familiar with the beautiful miniature, do come in and check us out, we would love to show you some small wonders," Christian said.

The miniatures will hang until Dec. 9th, 2012
