karen libecap tiny paintings

Welcome to my tiny art. People often ask how I got into tiny paintings and I love sharing my journey that brought me here.

In 2009 I started painting again and tried everything. Oils, pastels, pencils, pen and ink, but was having a hard time finishing the larger pieces. I thought if I did small paintings I would be able to finish and it was like I had finally found my calling. I love how I can be super detailed and have literally unlimited subject matter and be able to finish before losing interest (thank you ADHD!) When I started doing tiny paintings they would take me about an hour to finish. but the more I do, the more detail I try to get in them. So now they take anywhere from 4 hours to a couple of days depending on how much detail and how much coffee I've had.

I am very thankful I have found a passion to pursue. I believe that if you do what you love, you will succeed. Every new painting is a challenge that I can't wait to conquer.

Have fun, take a look around, and enjoy the tiny things.
