Family day out

Hi all,
this is the first post on the miniature forum....after seeing all the mini. paintings i thought i would have a go...it's my first attempt ...
and won't be framing it...lol...it's just for fun..2''x 2.1/2'' arcrylics on watercolour paper...i've read the post on the measurements...but just to reassure me...the measurements given do not include the frame? have i got that right? just the painting? thanks for looking.

Re: Family day out

GREAT painting Caroline -- I love it

This could be made in to a great postcard with a caption saying, "Having a good time, the food's great" or something similar to that. You could have a whole series. Have them printed and they would sell well I am sure.

Just my 2 cents worth, 'cos I really love it.

Re: Family day out

Seen a few 'old' Aussies look like that in bygone days. Though the boy with sneakers and cap is more USA. Also same applies for UK folks. But not in Atlanta unless prior to my time, and I was first in Atlanta many years ago.

Regards,
Jillian
