I picked up some miniature landscapes (about 2" x 4") in Australia years ago, partly I suppose because I was mesmerized by the ability of the artist to work so small. (My eyesight and steadiness of hand would no longer permit me to manage it.) However, not long after, he began to paint in larger formats because, he said, it took him just as long to paint a miniature as it did a 12" x 18", but he could charge about 10 times as much for the larger painting.
