Teeny, tiny, little, small. Miniature art is a big deal at this time of year. How small does it go? Very! One entry by Matt Loudermilk at Cedar Street Galleries, for example, is a half-inch square painted with the artist’s own watercolor pigment made from spirulina.

Why are miniature shows a favorite? They offer art lovers the opportunity to view and buy paintings done in a variety of styles by many artists all in one place.
p.m. Saturdays Nov. 18-Jan. 7 at Cedar Street Galleries (817 Cedar St.).
Whether novice or sea- soned, artists seem to find de- light in “going small.” Most miniature artwork varies in size from as small as a matchbook cover to 80 square inches.
“Whether paintings or sculptured pieces, there will be nearly 400 mini works of art from close to 100 artists, in- cluding many collec- tor favorites and some first-timers,” says owner Michael Schnack.
Miniature art shows first be- came a worldwide phenome- non in Europe in the 1500s. In the days before cameras, these paintings let people keep pic- tures of loved ones with them — like in a locket.
Finally, Hawai‘i Water- color Society’s Little Picture Show will be staged Dec. 15-30 at The ARTS at Marks Garage (1159 Nu‘uanu Ave.). This exhibit is set for noon- 5 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays, and the opening reception is 5-7 p.m. Dec. 16. In 2003, HWS presented its first min- iature show. Titled Da Kine, it offered wrapped unframed work hung on washing lines with clothes pegs. Things are a bit more formal now.
This season, Honolulu boasts at least three major miniature art shows.
The Association of Ha- wai‘i Artists’ exhibit, titled Little Worlds, will be at Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Gar- den daily from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Nov. 30. It features more than 100 paint- ings by 20 artists. Winner of the best-in-show award, sponsored by the Susan Rog- ers-Aregger Foundation, was Kāne‘ohe resident Esper- ance Rakatonorina, who is much-admired for his paint- ings of nature.
“There will be loads of paintings on each wall,” says exhibit chairperson Frances Hill. “It can create a very compelling visual of color, style and ingenuity. We ex- pect around 100 original trea- sures.”
