About
My name is Virginia Spencer.
I paint with acrylic, oil and watercolor.
I prefer to do miniatures. Most of my paintings are 5×5 inches or less.
Occasionally I go crazy and make a really big one.
This little house is one of my favorites.
Acrylic miniature, 2.5 by 3.5 inches.

Love your pictures Virginia. Oh and very cute dog!
Thanks
Great start Virginia
And it’s a delight to see your wonderful artworks again 
Thank you so much!
I like your artwork very much, I hope to see more of it.
I’m also slightly in love with your dog and want him for my own. I would not be oppossed to seeing more pictures of him as well.
Thank you, he’s outside staring at a tree. His tree staring record is three hours but I think he might break that today. The tree is looking very self conscious.
Poor tree! Does he ever change up what he moons over? Or does he have a special likeing for bark? (Bad pun not intended.)
I really like your pictures, especially the dog and the stones. Good work!
you’re paintings are really gorgeous!
I really love your work. Love miniatures. Noticed your comments about the condo in Bay Beach and the marina.
Thanks Sharon. I always find the Strand enjoyable. I just read the article about the bridge. Interesting stuff.
Hello! Just found you through the Crazy Chicks Club, and so far I really like your blog! I love your work, and I’m happy to find another creative blogger that just started to blog too… I think us newbies have to stick together, and I just subscribed to your blog! Best of luck to you ~Pam
Hi Virginia, I just came across your blog and wanted to tell you how much I like it. I plan to visit frequently. Your paintings are wonderful and your writing gives me a good chuckle.
Virginia, you are totally crazy entertaining and talented! I need to visit your blog regularly – it’s good for my spirit and remembering how to smile! That picture frame is a masterpiece.
Thanks June! That means a lot coming from a lady like yourself.
You have a great sense of humor Virginia ! On this dreary day in Maryland it was wonderful finding your blog. I am not sure how I found it, because I was surfing on WetCanvas and somehow ended up here! I have subscribed to your blog. Thanks for telling the Nigerian story….I just deleted the email I got from that country yesterday. Hug that adorable dog for me.

Awesome miniatures… here in my town are a specialist painter in the art of miniatures i make an enterview called “Wuenselao en el país de las miniaturas” and I published in my blog, the only thing bad is that it is written in spanish but you can see some pics of his job
My Spanish isn’t that great but I was able to read most of it. Thank you for showing me that. His miniatures are lovely.

Happy October to you! Keep up the creative juice and thank you for showcasing your painting!
