Dollshouse Paintings - 1/2 1/24 and1/48 scale (1" 1/2" and 1/14" )

I find that acrylic paint is the best medium as it can be applied as finely as watercolour for delicate work, or as thickly as oils, to achieve deep rich undertones thus enabling me to create picture styles in whatever mood takes me.

I enjoy reproducing the works of old masters and artisans creating miniature masterpieces, but I have a great interest in history and a lot of my paintings reflect this - particularly historical figures, costume and buildings. I particularly admire the works of Thomas Gainsborough, Edgar Degas, John William Waterhouse and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Other subjects I enjoy painting are landscapes, botanical studies, birds, animals (especially cat portraits) and still life.

I use good quality paint and acid-free paper and I make individual frames for each painting from wooden mouldings which I finish with gold lacquer or varnish.

All paintings are lightly varnished to protect and preserve them.

My paintings are mostly 1/12th or 1/24th scale and have been bought both by dolls house enthusiasts and miniature picture collectors throughout Europe and America but also worldwide. A small painting also makes a perfect and unusual christmas or birthday gift to a loved one, a portrait of a favourite pet, person or famous building are just some of the many possibilities. More recently I have produced some 1/48 scale paintings.

I also undertake commissions for specific miniature paintings - please contact me if you would like more details or (click here for a current price list and to see my feedback).

Dollshouse Artist Accessories

As my interest in miniatures has grown, new thoughts and ideas have enabled me to extend my range of individually created items, ideal for a miniature artist's studio.

"Still life set-ups" and "paintings in production" for display on an easel provide a realistic look to any studio. Smaller items such as tubes of paint, coloured crayons, brushes and palettes all add to the effect in a truly miniature world.

Miniature Victorian Photographs, Prints and Tapestries

I can also offer other handcrafted pictures/art for your dolls house settings. Whether your house is Victorian, Tudor, Rococo or set in another historical time, I sell variety of prints to enhance any wall.

Miniature sepia photographs depicting life and bygone times of the victorian and edwardian eras are printed on gloss photographic paper and mounted into quality handcrafted wooden picture frames. These photographs will bring a truly realistic look to any room setting.

Also available are a collection of prints on cotton canvas reproducing a real tapestry effect. In the past tapestries were used to decorate the interiors of castles or manor houses, they were hung as decorations instead of paintings to bring some style and colour to an otherwise bland stone or plaster walled environment.

I try to produce new items on a regular basis so that there is always something fresh to see on my For Sale page.
