Capetonian Lorraine Loots started painting a miniature a day on 01 January 2013. It started as a side project to enable her to indulge her love of painting, but has since then gathered meaning and momentum. She now has a website on which you can ‘reserve’ a painting –and they are booked up well in advance! The miniatures are ‘more than meets the eye’: they are exquisite replications of our world and the things we love rendered in minute perfection, forming a tiny and, paradoxically, vast body of work.
