A bit of shameless exposure

Artists & Illustrators MagazineThere is an article about my miniatures in September's Artists & Illustrators magazine, together with a piece on the Royal Miniature Society (whose annual show will take place at the Mall Galleries in October). It is wonderful to see miniatures getting such great exposure and I'm very chuffed to be included. If I'm allowed to make one tiny, tinsy, little, insignificant comment (which I'm probably not) it would be that it's a pity they chose to show my paintings at about twice their actual size. They are miniatures after all. But that would just be ungrateful. And you can see them better.


Artists & Illustrators Magazine
My thanks to LC Littlejohn for making sense of my waffling and managing to put together a lovely cohesive article. If you had been listening in you would understand what she was up against. It is hard not to talk at great, and quite possibly boring, length about miniatures when someone gives you half a chance, but she had the courtesy to not fall asleep :)
Update - if you click on the pictures you should now be able to view the article as a pdf file, if I did it properly :)

Looks great Tracy. I must go and search for the magazine so I can brag I know you! I bet your work holds up really well to magnification as it is so detailed and this article will help to educate the public about how miniatures are painted. Well done.
