Art Cards
These miniature watercolor paintings measure 2.5" x 3.5". Art cards are being collected by many people around the world. They are a small format artwork that are basically the size of a playing card. Their history originates from the days before photography when men would have small pocket-sized portraits of their mistresses painted by artists. Go figure. Trading cards are big in the world of sports, and they have a special place in the world of art as well. Some collectors keep them in albums; others frame them. They are a way for collectors to acquire original artwork for reasonable prices.
