Moonlight Mermaids

These sexy little mermaids are original paintings created by my hubby. We sketch & paint together all the time. He is truly a big inspiration in my heart & soul. His style surely varies from mine but through this common passion our imaginations constantly soar!

Return of the ACEO

I began selling my art in ACEO (Art Cards, Editions & Originals) format a couple of years ago on ebay. ACEO's are the standard size of trading cards which are 2.5" X 3.5". These small works of art are highly collectible in the art world. All you have to do is type in the acronym and find thousands of artists currently selling these tiny treasures. From drawings, to paintings, mixed media, altered art, fabric collages, the list goes on and on.





I just recently created these two fantasy ACEO's. I forgot how fun & relaxing it could be to work on such a smaller scale. I started out with a pencil sketch on 140 lb watercolor paper. I then used ink, watercolor, metallic, & acrylic paints. The metallic paints create a soft shimmer that is not visible in the scanning process. It does look very magical in person.

Blossom

Peek a Boo!

This painting was created using ink, collage paper, metallic & acrylic paints. Textured, crackled, sanded, & distressed.

Mother Earth

8" X 10" on canvas board



I witnessed a beautiful sunset the other day. It inspired me to created this angel painting named "Mother Earth".



Her halo glows like the setting sun. Lying down on the blossoming grass makes her body look like rolling hills from afar. Her long dark blue hair flowing like a gentle river.

Created using ink, pastels, collage paper, metallic, & acrylic paints.

Sweet Spirit

5" X 7" on stretched canvas

This angel has such a sweet spirit about her. I love how she turned out. Created using ink, pastels, & acrylic paints. Textured, sanded, & distressed. Protected with a glossy finish.
