A NEW FORMAT
A Storyscape on a smaller scale
An 8×10 hand-embellished canvas panel, built around one pet and a setting sized to match.
WHAT IT IS
The same idea, deliberately smaller.
A Storyscape Miniature places one pet inside a setting built specifically for an 8×10 canvas. Broader shapes, fewer details, a sense of place that reads clearly at this size.
It's painted on a flat canvas panel and finished by hand with acrylic, the same way every Pouka commission is finished. It arrives unframed, ready for whatever frame suits the space it's going into.
AT A GLANCE
The details.
ORIENTATION
8×10 or 10×8. Chosen to fit the pose: a running dog reads best in landscape, a seated portrait usually wants portrait.
SETTING
Simplified and scale-appropriate. Designed for this size from the start, not a shrunken version of a full Storyscape.
FINISH
Hand-embellished with acrylic paint.
SUBJECT
One pet.
SURFACE
Flat canvas panel.
FRAMING
Unframed. Designed to fit most standard 8×10 frames, with no glass required.
The Same Canvas Quality
Storyscape Miniatures are printed by Loxley Colour in Scotland, the same professional lab that produces my larger canvas portraits. The smaller format changes the scale, but not the quality of the canvas, color, or surface finish.
SEEING THE SCALE
Small enough to hold. Substantial enough to impress.
WHY CHOOSE THE MINIATURE
A small portrait still tells a story
A gift that ships easily, a first commission, another portrait for the room that already has several on the wall.
INVESTMENT
$500
all-inclusive | one pet | 8×10 unframed canvas panel | hand-embellished
The $500 investment begins with a $100 design and consultation fee. Once the design is approved, that amount is applied toward the remaining balance.

CONSIDERING SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
Two other places this might belong.
A Full Storyscape
If the place is as much a part of the story as your pet, a larger canvas gives the setting room to be fully developed rather than suggested.
A Signature Portrait
If you'd rather keep the focus entirely on your pet with no setting at all, a painted background of tone and texture might be the better fit.
