"Jack", 1 3/16" x 1 1/16" (nfs)
egg tempera on Kelmscott vellum
"Max with Cosmos" 7" x 9"
egg tempera and oil on panel (commission)
Here is a comparative example of two pet portraits. "Jack" is a portrait
I painted in just a few hours today. It has less detail.
But click on the second portrait to see the greater detail in Max.
The first is a dailywork; the second is a masterwork.
The dogs in both of these paintings are portrayed at least 1/6th of life scale, but are both miniature paintings? If you know the answer, please submit your comment.

Great dog portraits! Very cute westie.
I don't think the white dog is a miniature, but the other one yes. Great work!
Thanks Ed and Nick!
Nick, your answer is correct. The white Westie is a 'small work' because it is larger than 25 inches square, even though the dog is portrayed at 1/6th scale.
