Small paintings are a wonderful way for a new art collector to get started and a seasoned collector to add to their collection, at an affordable price. Sometimes collecting small, such as the 5x7 paintings offered through the Annual Dix Baines Studio Auction "Notes and Brushstrokes," does not seem like much because, well they are so small and will get lost on a wall. The beauty of collecting small, however, is many fold. As many artist's paint small and offer small paintings, collecting small allows for the collector to purchase paintings from a variety of artists and still stay within a reasonable budget. We began collecting small several years ago and have purchased paintings from two of our favorite artists and friends, Michael Ome Untiedt and Tim Deibler, who both offer 5x7 paintings . Michael Ome Untiedt has a 5x7 auction each year called the Little Charlie Auction. Tim Deibler offers 5x7 Specials on his website. After having purchased paintings from both artists, as well as adding some of Dix Baines, that I received as gifts, we had enough paintings to group on a large wall. It is a patchwork of memories that brings joy everyday. By collecting small, one can purchase paintings year after year from favorite artists and grow a collection, that documents the artist career, development, and growth. Twice a year, August and November, Dix Baines paints a dozen 5x7 paintings that are sold only through the Studio at the Studio Auctions. In August at the "Summer Garden Party and Auction" and in November at "Notes and Brushstrokes" each original 5x7 oil painting starts with a minimum bid of $150. Those interested in purchasing, through the Studio Auctions, can bid on-line by entering their contact information and bid amount in the comment area beneath the painting of interest. Bids can also be made by contacting the Studio by phone or text (720.353.2670) or by attending one of the events. Frames and shipping is available for all of the paintings.
