Mimi Shah: Miniature Watercolors

View Up Close

On exhibit at the Central Library, June – July 2015

Mimi Shah Watercolors

 

Artist Statement:

Miniature paintings are often defined as being minute in scale versus life size. These paintings need to be viewed up close in order to see the vivid colors and detail of scenes such as a Paris, France, flower market; an entranceway to a restaurant in Santorini, Greece; and an old fashioned wooden bridge in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Although they are small works, they take an excruciating amount of time to paint because of scaling to size and getting the details right. I hope the viewer enjoys the painting as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Want to buy something you see on our walls? Artists contribute 20% of sales made during their exhibit to theĀ Friends of the Arlington County Public Library, to help support Library programming.
