Win A Micro, Instagram-Style Painting by Mandy Maxwell
Win An Instagram-style Painting by Mandy Maxwell
For the past 2 years, Instagram has captivated my life. To be able to look back at the details of each day is something I could have only wished for in the past. (I’ve never been able to keep up with scrapbooking.) This app makes it effortless to create something beautiful daily. But more than that, the photos of the people I’ve met through the community do so much to stir my muse. I know others love their IG photo collection just as much as me, therefore I want to give back.
These tiny 2×2 canvases are just a little bit bigger than an Instagram photo on my iPhone screen. I use very tiny brushes, like the ones used to paint miniature models, just to get the details. Each micro-painting takes from 1-5 hours or more, depending on the subject matter. I like the challenge of painting these little details! So,

Deadline
I will choose all winners by February 1st. These paintings take a little while to paint and, because they are oil, take a few days, at least, to dry. Afterwards, I will mail them to the winners.
