Every April the Scottsdale Artists' School holds an auction of miniatures, painted by the many instructors who have taught there as well as a number of students. It's a miniature show (they ask for 5" x 7") so with even a small budget you can pick up some wonderful work. It's also great fun - lots of people come in costume, and the major restraunteurs all set up tasting stations.

That tiny format is way too small for me, but this year I got sort of close , 10" x 8". Oil on Wallis paper. This little painting will go in an oversize Baroque frame.
