This ACEO was inspired by a scene from childhood when I used to ride horse with my parents. Yes sometimes even in the snow. But I was a kid so it was fun.

Rocky - Art on the Fly

Rocky 2.5x3.5 Mixed Media

For this ACEO I used watercolor, pen, and pencil. The paper was first given a watercolor wash. Once that was dry I challenged myself to make something out of the random pattern that was produced. Another way to improve your artistic skills.

All Smiles - A daily art card

Creative Fever - Syrah an Art Card

The nice thing about ACEO is that it is a small enough format to allow you to experiment with new techniques and materials, plus it helps you refine your skills.

I started doing some ACEO cards and I am going to give some away at the first party I have at my new house. (What is an ACEO card?)

Long Absence

Sorry for the long absence. I promise I will be making up for it.

I bought a house recently and have been moving the past few months. The bad news is it is a lot of work especially for a pack rat. The good news is I now have a room for a studio.
