First Dance - Small Still Life Painting ACEO for Valentine

First Dance

3-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches

acrylic on watercolor paper

I had to sneak in a quick painting of these shy little Kisses....with Valentine's Day coming up and all....

Small break from my Fun-A-Day Project, but don't fear, I will probably post the next one later tonight.

I have so many ideas and so many things in  my head that I want to paint. I keep stopping the actual painting to jot down ideas or do a few sketches. I try to kind of "go with it" when that happens, because I know those ideas and sketches will be very helpful to me during times when I am not feeling very creative  ;-) It's just frustrating because it makes me feel like I am not painting fast enough!

Anyhow, this ACEO will be available with a few more Valentine's Day-themed pieces at Positive Images Gallery in Haverhill, Massachusetts later this week.

All You Need - Small Still Life Painting for Valentine 4x4

All You Need

4 x 4 inches

acrylic on gessobord panel

Okay, so it is not a Fun-A-Day piece, but it is one for Day 17 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge on Leslie Saeta's  blog!

It is a similar idea to a little ACEO painting I did a few years ago - this one will be framed as part of a Valentine's Day themed display at Positive Images Gallery in Haverhill, Massachusetts some time next week.

It is fun to play with the magnetic refrigerator letters. I saved a bag of them (for me!) even though my kids are a little too old to want to play with them anymore. I may have to come up with an idea for another painting using them again soon.

Now back to my kitchen......

A Sweet Heart - Original Valentine ACEO Painting Red Heart SOLD

A Sweet Heart

2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches

acrylic on 1/8" archival canvas panel
SOLD

I had to sneak a little one in for Valentine's Day!

I've been wanting to try something wrapped in cellophane - this is my first attempt. Very interesting surface to try to represent!

This ACEO is on a little handmade acid free canvas board with a WOOD core - no cardboard. The board is about 1/8" thick and wonderfully sturdy. Cool, huh? I may have to get some of these for my plein air work.

Because these little boards look so cute on the tiny wood easels, I'll even include one with your order!
