4 x 6 inch miniature -oil on panel

From a beautiful stock image by :iconkuoma-stock:... [link]

An exercise in seeing how small I could paint a face in oils. Please note the face is only 1/2 inch high. The likeness is not good, I was just happy to get it to look like a face. Towards the end I was using the tip of sewing needles to get some of the detail in.
