The Ann Cooper 'Summer at the Beach' miniature collection of one-of-a-kind lanterns containing beach cottage scenes including local elements and my paintings in miniature debuted Saturday, June 2, at my gallery in Ocean View.
 
The collection is quintessential Ann Cooper – intricately detailed, warm, beautiful little worlds, like tiny, contained dollhouses that make you want to shrink and go inside and sit in your porch rocker or in your comfy chair by the fireplace and loose yourself in her world. I think once again they’ll sell out quickly, maybe even more so given the theme so many love.
 
Said Cooper, “These lanterns are are seaside dreams you can take home with you and enjoy all year.” 

Each includes a special lighted feature such as a nautical lamp, flickering candles on the mantel, a chandelier or a chairside lamp and baskets of coastal flowers and bottles of locally “found” treasures from the beach. My paintings have a special functional art light at the top of them, just as they would in a home, whether on an easel or above the fireplace.
