[Lorraine Loots][1] has a big project of small dimensions planned for this year. The Cape Town, South Africa artist creates *Paintings for Ants*, a series of miniature, detailed paintings that literally seem to be painted for the eyes of the small insects. Using watercolor paints, pencils and the naked eye, Loot has an aptitude for the delicate. She began producing *Paintings for Ants* in 2013 and *Postcards for Ants* in 2014, producing a pint-sized painting every day for 365 days. In 2015, Loots decided to do it again. Her theme is anything and everything related to Cape Town, in celebration of the city being designated the [World Design Capital][2] in 2014. Loot shares her final product on her [Facebook][3] page with the date it was completed. She also creates a contrast by placing objects such as a leaf or a coin beside her artwork to reflect the small dimensions of her craft.
