Our famed annual Masterworks in Miniature runs March 6 - March 21. Now in its 18th big year, the international art event features original works by Robert Bateman, Alan Bean, Carl Brenders, James Christensen, Guy Coheleach, Bev Doolittle, Scott Gustafson, Edna Hibel, Terry Isaac, Dean Morrissey, Liz Lemon Swindle, Charles Wysocki and others — to name-drop a few. Most works will be priced from $350 to $5000. Appropriate custom framing is included.
An especially “out of this world” image is the work of astronaut/artist Alan Bean whose image “One Lucky Guy” was created with the use of “lunar tools” and remnants of moon dust.
Each miniature is equally special and demand dictates that prospective buyers from throughout the world submit ‘intent-to-purchase’ forms in hopes of ‘being drawn’ to buy their favorites.
All the information is on our website: www.galleryone.com
Intents can be filed by mail or over the web where the entire collection can be viewed. Of course the miniatures are all on display at Gallery One in Mentor OH.
While some Masterworks will fit in the palm of one's hand, others are as large as 9" x 12." A rare few may be a bit larger. Regardless of size, all are exquisitely detailed and represent the high quality expected of the individual artists. Genres include wildlife, portraits, still life, landscape, abstract and fantasy.

That's all for now.
