These salt and pepper shakers were made in the 40's by "Hull", the same maker as the "Cookie Jar" painting shown below. I painted my first miniature for The Kaewyn Gallery in Bothell, WA. I was really surprised to discover how much I like painting miniatures. Usually after I paint a mini, I will paint a larger one of the same subject to loosen up my hand. I have not shown the "Hull" pieces yet, but I hope to this year.Penelope
WOW! My hands cramp just thinking of painting a miniature! That's a lot of detail!
