I needed a break from the birthday painting so I brought out these miniatures that I started at least five years ago. They are my husband and myself and our five daughters. I have wanted to do these for longer than I have been painting. I bought the first set of frames before I had ever lifted a brush and found the second set at an antique store. After I chose the images and began the work, it proved to be too difficult because of the tiny work and my tremor. About a year ago I ordered a gadget I saw on line that works like binocular glasses. The vision is wonderful. My doctor prescribed a medicine to aid in calming my tremor. I don’t use it for regular work but for this, it really helps. There is something about these images as a group that makes me really happy. I hope I can complete them each with a good likeness and artistic skill. The hours fly by when I work but more so with this miniature challenge. It must be some sort of time warp. Enjoy your painting. Diana
