Jacqueline Lou Skaggs is the artist behind those tiny oil paintings on pennies. The collection is called "Tondi Observations" . Part of the description by Skaggs : This small body of twelve works consist of images painted on found, discarded pennies. These pictures pay homage to, not only, the binding ideologies that define our family, religious, social and political worlds- but also to the resonating mythological powers of traditional painting and miniature picture making- much like the Dutch oils on copper from the 17th century. Paid tribute no less on the face of discarded coins these iconic images transcend the coins value while, to some extent, defacing it.
