miniature art society of florida exhibition
Tomorrow is the public opening of the MASF annual Exhibition in Dunedin Fine Art Center in Florida. This is one of the largest Miniature Art exhibitions and an important event in the miniature art world with over 800 juried works on display from artists all over the world. I'll have five paintings there and was delighted to receive 3rd place in Birds & Animals for Chillin' (Sumatran Tiger).
Chillin' (Sumatran Tiger) 2" x 2" watercolour
All the volunteers work extremely hard behind the scenes to put on a tremendous show which is always very popular with both artists and buyers. There are demonstrations and most of the work on display is for sale (excluding the permanent collection). One year I will get to go - but meantime am looking forward to hearing all about it from those lucky enough to be there!
I received a copy of Pratique Des Arts this week, the leading French art magazine, who kindly included one of my paintings in their Hors-série Aquarelle Spécial. I must confess I rarely get to see any art magazines (I am never sure which one is worth subscribing to, even if I did get round to it) so its always a treat. There is some truly outstanding work included in this issue and I was completely blown away by the work of Stan Miller in a feature on his portraits - they are simply breathtaking. He works in watercolour and egg tempera and you can see more on his website, but here is a photo from the article as well:

Congrats on your award Tracy! I had three pieces juried into this show - my first time to enter.
I remember Stan Miller from when I lived in Spokane years ago. I've always loved his paintings.
Hi Sue - oh thats wonderful! Which pieces did you enter? I hope you sell them all.
I'm so pleased to have found out about Stan Millers work, great to hear that you know of him. I am very out of the loop, I realise, but its always exciting to discover an artist you hadn't heard of before!
Congratulations on the award and having your painting featured in a magazine! Very exciting!
Hello Tracy, conratulations of your 3rd place.....your work is awesome. You are such an inspiration to me. I always look forward to seeing what you've done next. Wishing you a prosperous, healthy and inspirational 2011.
Dear Tracy,
Cngrats! But I cannot see the tiger well(samll, but I well-understand copyrights issue). Is he lying on the back for "chilling"? Have a wonderful new year!
Best wishes, Sadami
Congratulations on your 3rd place in such a prestigious exhibition.
All your work is fantastic though!
Thank you Michelle, Carol and Sue - Sadami, sorry, I forgot to include a bigger picture of the tiger! Have now added him :)
Congratulations Tracy he's absolutely gorgeous and deserving of a prize. Looks like a big tabby but probably wouldn't be wise to tickle his chin.
Thanks for the heads up on Stan Miller, wonderful stuff!
Big congratulations Tracy, your work is incredible well deserved. Love Stans portraits, and his venice scenes wow)
Tracy, you never cease to amaze me! Congratulations my friend!

Tracy! I DID go to the show and it was marvelous! Congratulations! The tiger is one of my all time favorites and now he had found a home, (did you know?!). I don't know who the buyer is but I did see that cheery sold stamp on its placard. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to see your work up close. It's even better in person. I sure wish you could have been there. I so want to meet you some day! One of these years...
Anyway...the show was wonderful, the people a delight and the weather cooperative. I don't think I could have asked for a better first miniature show experience!
Thank you for the kind comments, Elizabeth,Sam and Beatrice!
Mary so happy for you! Would love to have been there when you received the Excellence in All Entries award! The show sounds wonderful and one of these years we will meet up there! Thanks for letting me know about the sale and hope all yours find new homes too:)
Tracy, congratulations on your well deserved award at MASF and also on your feature in the magazine!! And you are right - Stan Miller is a very talented portrait artist. His backgrounds evoke mood...amazing!
You are a very talented artist! I ama Scottish artist living in Ireland and mainly do female nudes (McDougall.biz)
