This Brooklyn Easter egg hunt has a sweet reward — and it’s not candy.

Greenpoint artist Steve Wasterval is tucking miniature paintings of local scenes inside colorful eggs, then hiding the tiny treasures and giving out hints so art lovers can find them.

The weekend art hunts have become something of a ritual in Greenpoint since Wasterval started them three years ago.

Wasterval, 40, normally paints landscapes in an Impressionist style and his full-size canvases sell for $2,000 to $3,000. Leaving out big paintings was “too much to give away,” he said.

“I’ve come up with miniature ones. This is a way to do it more often, so lots of people can try to find art,” he said. “I just thought it would be fun to take it home.”

The mini masterpieces, which measure 2-by-1 1/2 inches, feature local cafes, streets and parks. Wasterval tucks them into crevices near the scene they depict and posts a photo on his Instagram page letting treasure hunters know where they can begin to look. He also gives an early heads up to those who join a mailing list on his website.

“I have to strategically hide them so they’re not in plain site,” he said. “I do hide them pretty well.”

He last did an Easter egg hunt in 2019, leaving decoy eggs around the neighborhood to increase the challenge.

One disappointed hunter posted on social media that he did a “quick jaunt down to Greenpoint Avenue to search … only to find two duds.”

A more successful seeker posted a photo exclaiming, “Found!”

All of his hidden art has been uncovered and the popularity of the hunt has increased in the last few months as people are looking for safe, outdoor activities, Wasterval said.

Wasterval, who lives in Greenpoint with this wife and son, said people have asked them if they can just buy the miniatures.

“I just happily tell them ‘No, you’ve got to find one,’ ” he said. “They’re special in that way. You can only find them.”
