In a world where everything seems to have gone awry, 

you're the one who understands the importance of beauty in our lives, simplicity, a bit of wonder

in each day....and trusting in goodness. 

You're the one with 'a pocket full of posies', the glass more than half full, seeing an opportunity around every corner (and having the nerve to act upon it). 

And if you think that has never been there for you...well, you do have to actively seek it. It is there, sometimes in the unlikeliest places.

  

You're Making Me Blush

This painting is based on a smaller study from life. Painting larger is always a fun challenge.  It is full out exhuberance! This one brings a powerful lot of cheer to a room!

Sun & Shade Zinnias ACEO Floral Original Oil Painting

3.5"x2.5" oil on fine canvas board

Bidding starts at just $1

Outside on the edge of the table, sun & shadow of the late afternoon showed off these blossoms so well!

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!

Pink & Red - Cyclamen In The Sunshine- SOLD!

6"x6" oil on gessoed masonite archival panel



Last Friday when I painted this it was so much warmer! Today (Monday), it was windy and cold, a harsh reminder that it really IS New England after all. We're due for a hard frost tonight. I just hope all these tender buds out there make it through! I've got some hydrangeas that are way ahead of schedule! Mother Nature always seems to get the last word in after all!
