"Hat Lady with Cat and Key"Oil on fine grain canvas on wood ACEO.
2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. The above photo shows actual size.
Call me crazy, but I love to do tiny miniatures. For reference I used photos, clay models, and did some out of my head. On a miniature face, you have to get the eyes lined up EXACTLY, because if it's off even a fraction of an inch, it shows. Below you can see an enlarged detail shot with a US penny for size reference.

Wow, Theresa, phenomenal! And I totally adore the rest of your artwork as well.
You are quite an inspiration.

Did you use a magnifier while painting this?
Very nice, BTW.
Thanks Rick. I use a pair of +2.75 reading glasses plus I move my light down very close to the work. Having lots of light really helps.
Thanks Lore and Christina! (thot I'd said thanks but for some reason the comment didn't how up, but anyways, THANKS!)
Beautiful! Man, the size reference really makes me want to see this in person:)
Thanks Brian. I'll bring it in to studio next Friday.
Love it, Theresa! Brava!
Thanks Kelly and Namaste!
