For many occasions during the year, small paintings are a popular gift item. They are usually 8 x 10 or under.

Most galleries including the Salmagundi Club in NYC have December events displaying them. The Salmagundi Club calls it their "Thumb-Box" show, the Gallery of CNY calls it their "Smalls," while Andrei Kushnir at American Painting Fine Art calls it his "Small Treasures" show. Whatever you call it, they are small, attractive gift-size paintings.
