ACEO Dingy



ACEO 2.5" x 3.5" Miniature Affordable and Collectible Art

"Dingy" This one was done as a request from a new friend. I did 2 and she chose the other one. I can't post it because it's a surprise!

ACEO From the Garden



2.5" x 3.5" Acrylic, Miniature Affordable and Collectible Art

"From the Garden" To me it looks like something someone would pluck from a small garden. Maybe the first blooms of the year. I'm still playing with learning how to achieve muted color. I used a light blue wash over this in it's entirety. I think it came out well.

ACEO Red and Yella



2.5" x 3.5" Acrylic, Miniature Affordable and Collectible Art

"Red and Yella" I love the way the colors turned out in the vase. I'm trying more and more to learn about color and the best way to apply it in an acrylic medium and I'm very happy with the vase in particular.

ACEO Fallen Petals



2.5" x 3.5" Acrylic, Miniature Affordable & as always Collectible

"Fallen Petals" I don't know why but the petals that fell from this arrangement became more important than the arrangement itself. The cycle of life maybe?

ACEO Downed Trees



2.5" x 3.5" Acrylic Miniature Affordable & Collectibles SOLD

"Downed Trees" I'm not sure what came through here, loggers, a fire, someone stocking up for the winter?

ACEO Meadow View

2.5" x 3.5" Acrylic Miniature Affordable and Collectible

"Meadow View" This one came out kind of misty and sullen.

ACEO Hidden Meadow



2.5" x 3.5" Miniature Affordable & Collectable

This one reminds me of Arizona. Looks like a nice place to have lunch.

ACEO Stream at Sunset



ACEO 2.5" x 3.5" Miniature, Affordable & Collectable

I like the rocks and the water the best in this one. But I think it might have too many colors in it overall. Still practicing. Thank goodness it's a mini.

A Test of Color


I bought Vicki McMurry’s book Mastering Color and I tried to emulate the colors that are on the jacket cover before reading the book. The painting is sort of a test to see how I improve after reading the book. I love her colors and I love her style. I should only hope to one day be half as good.

She paints in oils which I think is an advantage and mine is in acrylic but…we’ll see.

Drinking Fountain


5" x 7" Acrylic on Canvas Panel
Well here is my first attempt at "impasto" painting. Not too bad I don't think. It grows on me the more I look at it. It's one of those that come more into focus as you back away from it. Go ahead try it, you'll see.
