Heaven on Earth Rose (in progress), 2 1/2" x 2 7/8", egg tempera on Kelmscott vellum
Here's an update on my progress with my second in a series of rose miniatures. As mentioned earlier, this kind of miniature which zeros in on a small subject is one that some refer to as 'atypical' because it has all the qualities of a miniature, except 1/6th scale. More to come on it, plus a start on a new miniature.

Totally unbelievable Mona - looks like a stunning photo, the colours are su rich and the detail is fabulous - you amaze me!!!
Your roses are so jewel-like. Beautiful work, Mona! I'll be watching.
Karen and Barbara, you are very kind, thank you.
Mona,
thanks for the kind comments on my blog. Thought I'd stop over and see what was going on in miniature world only to find my mind blown by the scale of this beautifully done rose...amazing! You are definitely having all the fun.
All my best to you,
Todd
Thanks Todd, it's entirely mutual!
So beautiful! I love the glossiness of the leaves.
It's so beautiful, and has amazing details. Even more amazing is that the actual work is smaller than it appears on my screen!
Mona, I like how your work is so photorealistic, and the luminosity you achieve with your egg tempera. This is another outstanding ex. of both.
