Funny Little Cat Paintings

Once or twice a year I sit down and paint ACEOs. An ACEO (Art Cards Editions and Originals) can be made with just about anything as long as it abides by one rule – it is 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches – the size of a trading card.

I found ACEOs on eBay in 2007 and credit them with sparking my interest in painting. Prior to then I had mainly used paint to make accent marks on my 3d sculptures. ACEOs sparked my interest in selling my art online too, and I sold quite a number of them — some flat paintings, others collages, and of course, many 3d-ish forms with polymer clay sculpture resting on a 3.5 inch by 2.5 inch painting.

My paintings have grown in size, considerably in some cases, and my subject matter has expanded — but it’s still fun to sit down and create something SMALL. Here’s a look at the first, perhaps only, batch I’ve made for 2017.

The four-legged creatures in my shop are getting ready for the St. Patrick’s Day parade: even their finned friend is getting into the spirit!

Miniature Wine Paintings

The type of work I make changes with the seasons. The holidays are a time of small works: ornaments, gift items….. My paint box is largely neglected that of year. So, I started 2014 off with several miniature paintings to get back into the swing of things. These are 3 of my wine related ACEO miniature paintings. They are 3.5″ x 2.5″ in size. Now it’s time to move onto larger canvas!
