Interesting, I very agree with you. Just before I took a plunge with this miniatures, painted a picture in format 9" x 12". And voila: I feel and meet the forms much better as with 18 or 20". I noticed what you said (to be accurate etc..) but following too: paintings just in this dimensions have much more "room" to make only the illusion of something what not really detailed painted, e.g. the earring or the 2 rings on finger are only illusions. Of course,I know with more time and effort get the whole thing more realistic effect.Btw,the face is no more then 1". I know this kind of pictures is not desired on Forum, maybe a link? (to copy in address-field) If not, please delete it promptly!

Maybe I'll go no more over 12".
Many thanks,
