SA artist for ants becomes a giant success

Cape Town - Lorraine Loots is a local artist but with a unique twist.

She is a miniaturist painter based in Cape Town and as her Instagram bio states, "I make paintings for ants" and yes that's exactly what she does… She creates tiny art and when we say tiny, we mean tiny!

Her creations is so popular that all her work for 2013/2014 is sold out. And now she will be doing a collection for 2015 of 100 miniature paintings over 25 weeks consisting of 4 themes.

Be prepared to be blown away...





She's even going to New York...

And here's one more...

INTRODUCING : FREE FRIDAYS! As the 4th and final part of #potluck100pfa, Friday's theme is wide open, meaning that the person who has booked the painting can suggest pretty much any 5 topics (within reason: nothing too personal like family portraits; the theme still has to be universal). This is day 4/100 (1/25 Fridays) : PIZZA! My favourite.???? 26 x 13 mm. SOLD. #potluck100pfa #freefridays #miniature #watercolour #pizza #painting #paintingsforants PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL BE INTRODUCING THE PROJECT THIS WEEK, AND SALES/BOOKINGS WILL ONLY OPEN NEXT WEEK. Paintings cannot be booked yet. I will announce the way bookings/sales will work on Monday 9 March, and I’ll give a heads-up here of the exact time when sales will open via my website. ??

All 100 original paintings will be auctioned on Instagram, framed in raw wood and exhibited, before being sent to their owners in February 2016.
