3.5"x2.5" oil on fine canvas board
If you have followed my work for a long time, you know I'm a garden painter. From early spring to late fall I'm out there (with my hubby, the main garden guru) planting for painting! Every surface in my garden is a topic that I've painted. To check out what I'm up to, visit my web-site and blog!!! We had a great gardening year - which made it very inspiring for painting.The zinnias were outstanding this year, and the daisies just outdid themselves. These were among the last batches that I cut before our first big frost! And yes, I am indeed enjoying painting these small ACEOs... between painting breaks on a large one that I'm working on.
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!
