Fragment: Lost Cause

Painting a day: Lost Cause
"Fragment: Lost Cause"
Oil on panel, 3.5 x 2.5 inches

Today I decided it was time to have some fun. I haven't painted one of these miniature knight guys in years, and, well, it just really fit my mood... a little stubborn, a little ironic... you know.

Some days I really sympathize with this fellow.

Great painting. How is it that you can paint so small? Yikes!

Super job on this, Jeff! The values and color are right on.
As mentioned before, That's a lot of detail for such a small painting!

thanks Lisa - that's the great thing about art; I have to say that that interpretation never occurred to me!

I really love the grand scale of this tiny work. Perhaps that's one of the main attractions of doing the miniatures.

Beautiful piece!

thanks Diane; you know, when I'm working on one of these, I NEVER have the feeling I'm working on a small painting.
