Bottlecap triptych

[Roethke]

Three wee paintings, achieved using tiny brushes.

Here is the triptych together (in case you did not know, a triptych is a grouping of three and makes you sound fancy when you call a group of three a triptych):

Here are closeups of the three individually:






And what does one do with such tiny paintings?  You frame them in a big gigantic frame:


I'd post a picture of the bottlecaps next to a ruler, but I figured that bottlecaps are pretty much universally the same size, and I will not insult your esteemed intelligence by suggesting that you might not recall the dimensions of such a common object.

These are wonderful!

I used to do something similar (bottlecaps, paintings & gigantic frames...but not your particular wonderful paintings!) when I was still inspired to paint ... yours make me so happy!  Could you send me some of your inspiration in a small pouch? 

Did you have someone model or were they wildly created in your imagination?

Oh, anyone would have found it ever so amusing to watch me paint these.  I sat in front of a mirror making ridiculous faces so that I could get the teeth just right on the yelling one, or the reflected light fall just so on the surprised face.

wow, fantastic job on the painting. I love to paint tiny things...its a challenge but rewarding when they are done!
I was going to paint something for my tiny entry, but did something non-painted. I'm glad you entered something artsy, glad to see an entry like yours

Such great work on such a tiny scale!  I really love the last picture since it not only shows how tiny the caps are, but i love the reflection in the picture!

Amazing!  I had a paintbrush small enough to do paintings like that, but I used it too much and I didn't take good care of it so all of the bristles fell out.  Now I want to get a new one and paint tiny pictures!

These look so great! I love that you framed them and they would look great in anybody's house as decoration too. All your funny faces in front of mirrors really paid off.
