Seaside Art Gallery's 24th International Miniature Art Show

The 24th Annual International Miniature Art Show at Seaside Art Gallery is happening online now.  I missed submitting to this show last year and am so pleased that I am able to submit work this year!  Each year the show exhibits around 550-600 works of art by talented artists from all around the globe.  Some of the world’s most renowned miniature artists participate each year! This show has a wonderful variety of  fine art miniatures! 

Above are my three works in the show, shown in their frames.  They are, The Custodian, Sure Signs of Autumn, and Smooching. 

This great show is a favorite of mine. I love the presentation of the entire show online. Seaside is a very organized and well run gallery.  Not only will you be able to click on the work to see an enlarged view, but if you click on the details, it tells you the artist's name and where they're from.  There is also a thumbnail of the work in it's frame which you can click on for an enlarged framed view. The clarity of the image is perfect AND you can put it in your cart and buy the artwork online!  Just click on The Custodian, Sure Signs of Autumn or Smooching to see my work on Seaside's online gallery.  If you want to go back to the rest of the show, just click at the bottom, 24th International Miniature Art Show, it will take you there.  Enjoy!

The online exhibition starts upon arrival of each artist’s work.  When the artwork arrives in the gallery, it is examined, measured, photographed and posted.   Miniature art is often referred to as "the little jewels of the art world" and enjoys continued growth in popularity worldwide.

Thanks for taking the time to read about the shows I'm participating in and my work.  Spring is in the air and lots of things happening to me here on the home front.  I'm staying busy creating new work and am submitting to a few more shows this year, than last.  It's all been a slow process, but moving along.  A big change is happening this summer when will be welcoming our daughter, Gina, (and her little dog too!) who will be leaving the hot state of TX to come reside in the cool Pacific Northwest.  We'll be meeting up with her in TX and having a fun road trip back here.  We're hoping to visit the area around Santa Fe and elsewhere on our way back home.  It's all still in the planning stage but I'm sure we will have lots of fun and inspirations on the trip there and back.  We will be so pleased to have her here!
