Tiny Gratitudes

Full-color illustrated moments from daily life, captured in miniature detail, offers a beautiful reminder of the joy that can be found in even the most ordinary of days.

These 52 charming, miniature, tempera-paint images of mundane items are accompanied by mindfulness meditations to offer a new perspective on gratitude. During 2017, nationally recognized artist Brooke Rothshank created a weekly piece of art and a short meditation to accompany it. Painted in miniature, the images invite the viewer to slow down and see their world differently. Each painting was rendered by the artist in a slow and methodical way, contradicting our cultural need to consume more information at a greater speed.
