New Year, New Art

Welcome to Klik Gallery. Just a place to show my art. If you see something you like, make an offer. I believe art should be real (no prints or posters), affordable and accessible.

I started the mini-portrait series about three years ago. This one is my sister's family. I take the photographs myself and then paint them from my original picture, so I can control the entire process from angle and composition to final arrangement. Most of the finished sizes are 8x10 (I like the white space to complement the color and intricacy of the characters) with the family at only 1x2. Very small. I use a magnifying glass and a 10/0 brush to capture all the detailing.

Here is the close up:
