@modig They are gorgeous. Wow you’re an amazing artist.
modig
@gillespey670 they take a different handling- I’m so used to working quite large, my arm movement was so different to handle the tiny scale!😜 Thanks Donna!

londonsdigs ... playing with miniature paintings in compacts☀️
herblueeyes
@modig Oohhh I totally love your work! 😍😍 these pieces are gorgeous and so intimate the way they are smaller than your usual pieces. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ You could hold the portrait in the palm of your hand. Love them.
stylish_paige
@modig oh my goodness Tricia 😍😍❤️❤️ur so talented 😘😘absolutely love them🌹🌹🌹
stylish_paige
@modig how can u paint in so much detail in miniature size👏🏻👏🏻lovely my favorite is the the first and last one. I love the expression on the last painting 😍😍😍
modig
@herblueeyes I thought about that because I wanted to paint my mom and keep her close- it is very different though, more restrained and perhaps patient in a different way to paint so small!🌷
modig
@stylish_paige tiny brushes, tiny strokes😂 my eyes couldn’t always see and if I breathed to heavily or sneezed, I lost a mouth or eye- seriously! Had to hold my breath for some!
herblueeyes
@modig Wow I love that the inspiration was your mom!!! Aww yes it will be very sweet for you to keep her close to you. 😘❤️❤️
stylish_paige
@modig amazing Tricia 😘so proud of u❤️❤️❤️
modig
@ellenjannino @amyshop just sharing a few recent paintings with a few of you😜🌷
lindafinds
Love them. You are so talented.😀
amyshop
These are incredible! You are so talented!!!
modig
@herblueeyes yes!!💕
modig
@amyshop oh thanks Amy- it was a challenge to work so small, I generally work quite large but wanted to see what it felt like in the hand!💕💕
hellodarrrling
AHHH!! Tricia!🍃💕🌸🎨🎨🎨🌸💕🍃You are amazingly TALENTED my friend! Your paintings are so passionate and each piece has a story written on their face...Gorgeous work, Love!!!~XO Alisia💖😍😍😍

gillespey670
@modig My compacts went to a good home. So glad you’re enjoying them
katherine61
These are beautiful....what a great take on antique miniatures. Love how you created these out of vintage compacts. I love antique miniatures and vintage compacts- so creative to combine them!❤️❤️
katherine61
BTW would you ever do a commission? I have a vintage compact and love how you incorporated your Mom into one...might be nice to have a mini of my mother. Hmmm..
modig
@gillespey670 🌷☀️🌷
modig
@katherine61 thank you Katherine- I’m quite used to working much larger so these were an interesting challenge to the hand and eye but exactly... I wanted a beautiful place to keep a hand held image and vintage compacts are so lovely and filled with history!
modig
@katherine61 we can talk under any ‘sold’ item further, but yes Katherine, I occasionally work on commissions (am working on a larger 3 figure family at the moment). I usually take the photos myself and go from there but if you had very clear images, I could work from them. Why don’t you look at what you have...

trying not to barrage everyone but sending to those that might enjoy painting to begin with😂😂😂 total guess work! 😜😂
msbeaudreaux
@modig WOW!!!! Absolutely Magnificent work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
modig
@msbeaudreaux 😜😘 so different from working my usual large pieces!
msbeaudreaux
@modig Truly beautiful work....I'm so impressed. Will you sale your minitures? You're truly gifted. Bravo ❤🎈🎁🎂🍾🥂😚💃🎉
modig
@msbeaudreaux definitely not the one of my mom but the others could be up for grab and I would work on commissioned miniatures as well🌷
modig
@msbeaudreaux I have both my bachelors and masters in painting, and teach at the local institute of art😜
ukester
@modig Tricia, Your work is brilliant! Thx so much for sharing. I’ve always been drawn to miniature works of art - baskets carved from fruit pits, Native American woven baskets the size of a thumb nail, etc. And, I love your story behind these creations; you want to keep your mom and others close to your heart! What better way to carry them w/ you always. ♥️
modig
@ukester 💕💐
modig
@decaryi thanks Casey! It’s strange how easy it is to lose something if you breathe too strong or your hand shakes- I wiped out an eye on a couple occasions!😬😂😂But Yes, entirely different scale- need the big ones too, you feel how controlled/still you are in these from holding so quietly where in the big, your arms and body can move- good for me to work both!
ellenjannino
Oh my gosh Tricia ... you are TRULY gifted🎨💕 These pieces are so real and raw and I love that they’re small and fit into a compact. You’re amazing ... thank you SO much for sharing❤️
modig
@lindafinds 🌷
modig
@ellenjannino it’s so different and delicate but also the marks are strong because every one has to build on the other in such a small space! I’m glad you like them!☀️
ellenjannino
@modig I look at my beautiful hummingbird every day and think of you and your mom❤️
modig
@ellenjannino I’m in the studio so not paying so great of attention to here!😬 I’m really glad you have it, I like knowing it’s with someone lovely!🌷🌷 will be on later tonight to share!😘
ellenjannino
@modig See you later❤️

modig
@valmeida77 thank you Vanessa! 🌷🌷🌷
terra_mar
@modig You're very welcome 🌷😊 💕
momoretro
@modig gorgeous - the detail is amazing but what is really incredible (for me) is the light on the faces; & depth; I can only imagine the interplay between that and the mirror in the compact. It’s not just talent it’s incredible skill - painting is a form of problem solving too!!!
modig
@momoretro you’re right- I tell students it’s 90% hard work and problem solving, 10% natural - you have to have ideas, good instincts, and be willing to work the roller coaster of what it is to workday to day with ups and downs!😜 thanks Meegan! 🌷🌷🌷
momoretro
Hope this is ok to say but I see some Vermeer influence there?
modig
@momoretro oh that’s a delightful comparison but I would say more baroque- Rembrandt and Rubens and Spanish artists excite me with their surface energy and focus on raw emotion. Vermeer is more designed and still which I do love but I want stillness in the thick of movement if that makes sense - 🌷
porcelainbirdie
@modig Beautiful! Is your mother the one on the top?
momoretro
@modig 😍😍
modig
@porcelainbirdie yes💕💕

vintage2classic
Very cool! I am sure it was an interesting experience doing miniature, with the tiny brushes. I bet you felt like a giant at some point during the process. Wishing you many more hours filled with creativity! Your work in awesome! -Lorri
modig
@leviya Lorri - it was and is a strange and good experience- one that helps me think - it puts everything in perspective when the wrong stroke can wipe out a good portion of the face- I have to be patient and slower and see form in tiny masses- And rework and layer the way I would in a large piece - both large and small are evocative to me in differences complementary ways! I’ve gone on and on because I get so excited with the subject of making things!😬😂 thanks so much for visiting!😘
vintage2classic
@modig how long does it take and do you use regular canvas?
modig
@leviya these are on prepared card stock so they can fit into the compacts- they take a couple days with many layers - much quicker than the bigger work🌷
vintage2classic
@modig Thanks for sharing your work with us. 🌹🤗

@modig I wish I had your eye Tricia! These are fabulous!!!
modig
@justgigi oh thank you Gigi! I’m so distracted by these new kittens I’m not getting in the studio as much as I need to be😬😂 finishing up a couple commissions before I can get back to painting a couple more miniatures and then summer’s gone and back to teaching for the fall semester!! How are you?!🌷🌷
justgigi
@modig I’m doing great! I work out a lot. I don’t particularly enjoy it, but I love to eat😉. I didn’t know you were a teacher! I guess you teach art? It would be a shame to keep all that talent to yourself!!! Also, I’m LOVING that FP jumpsuit, the one that looks like a dress! I need to sell some stuff on here and pray it’s still available! It’s just gorgeous!!!
modig
@justgigi I teach figure drawing and painting at the New Hampshire Institute and love it but I also love my summers to get in the studio more seriously and also just to have time to play!! That jumpsuit is beautiful!! If you bundle a few things, I’ll be sure to send a few gifts and do something for you on the bundle too😘Glad your summer is relaxing ( if you can call working out a lot relaxing😂
modig
@justgigi ...I have to say I haven’t gone on a jog in ages because it’s been miserably hot but I’m starting to miss it- something a bit empowering when you can jog a few miles! Have a perfectly lovely day and visit again!🌷🌷🌷

@modig Hi Tricia! How’s it going? How’s the new school year? Any recent bear activity? Down here I guess we are waiting to see if we get any part of the hurricane. We have already have had tons of rain, so any more of it will cause more flooding. Downtown Annapolis is blocked off due to high tide flooding.
Hope all is well!
modig
@fire172 hi Heather- I was just apologizing to Stella as I was sharing her closet and kept falling asleep ( so bundling by accident hitting wrong buttons😬- short answer, I’m not used to getting up so early still for work but I’ll settle in eventually and not be so tired at the end of the days - of course by then I may have a different schedule altogether! 😂
modig
@fire172 Hope you don’t get too much rain- my daughter has been evacuated from college of Charleston so she’s gone to my brother in Atlanta! Be well!!🌷🌷🌷
fire172
@modig Oh my! So glad you’re daughter was able to get to somewhere safe! I started reading all the comments in the post after I sent you the message. I do love your miniatures! As always, just exquisite! Tricia, I will never be a morning person, so I totally get it. If we could only get 3 day weekends, it might be worth it!
modig
@fire172 it might except I work in the studio the weekend days.... 😬😂
barellagirl
@modig stunning and exquisite just like amazing YOU❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
modig
@barellagirl thanks love- I’m partial to the one of my mom of course but I’d like to make a whole series of miniatures- they’re really challenging in a different way from the large works!💕💕

modig
@pzq69854 I’m a narrative painter by trade and teach at the institute of art and design but painting small like this is really more for my mother who passed a few years ago and loved miniatures- it’s a way of keeping her close and all the women I purchase these from as part of the history of these works- thanks much!
justgigi
@modig Hey dear friend! Where have you been? I’ve missed you! I had bunion surgery three weeks ago. Been running around on a knee scooter. No pain. No drugs. Just a lot of down time. Thanks for the shares! Sharing back now! Hope you’re well!!!!!
