Zinnias & A Lazy Daisy ACEO Floral Original Painting

3.5"x2.5" oil on fine canvas board

Bidding starts at just $1


  Continuing with this series of floral ACEOs, I had lots more zinnias to paint & a spare Montauk daisy as well!  Right before our first predicted frost, I spent the day cutting all the blossoms I thought I could get painted, filled every vase & container I had! It was like a floral frenzy around here!  So, lots of painting, not much blogging was going on during that time! Painted from life in my studio. 
 
(during some of the pre-frost floral frenzy!)

It has been several years since I have used eBay as a place to sell, but I did enjoy it back in its 'heyday'.  I've begun a new series of ACEOs,  so far all florals - and I knew eBay would be the perfect place to highlight these! These little gems make a perfect gift idea! 

For those of you not familiar with the acronym ACEO, it stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals.  The miniature paintings are the size of a baseball trading card, 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches.  This category of art has become increasingly popular on eBay the last couple of years.  These can be displayed on their own, or with a tiny little easel (like the kind you can find in Michaels Arts & Crafts type stores) on a display shelf, or these beautiful gems can be elegantly matted and framed with perhaps a mat of 4 inches wide.  ACEOs also make wonderful gifts!
