More Lynxie Tree ACEOs and Cool Sky Pics ~ My New Year's Resolution this year was to paint an aceo every day...so far so good, because I've kept up with it thus far...I figured painting every day would be easier than promising to lose weight, quit smoking or exercising! :) I've been listing all of these Lynxie tree aceos for auction in my Ebay (link to the right).

Strange Ropy clouds in the sky this evening surely means rain on the way! ~ I hope everyone has a great weekend, it's supposed to rain here all day tomorrow, so it will be a good day to stay inside and work on my New Year's resolution, more aceos coming up!

New ACEOs and Gobble Gobble! ~ Oh boy, I've been so guilty of neglecting my blog lately, but at least I have gotten these three aceo size cards painted this week so I can share them. They are available on ebay and two will be running in the nfac contest in ebay this week. I couldn't resist painting a couple for the fun theme of 'holidays'. I was trying to get inspired this week to paint something, anything. I was starting to think my muse had run away with the turkeys and gone in hiding! These three are done with acrylics (including the shiny gold and silver), charcoal pencil and some sprinkly sparkly crystal glitter. I'll be up to my elbows in sweet potatoes this week. I always make a huge bowl of the sweet potato casserole with pecans and brown sugar and we head over to my MIL's on Thanksgiving Day, loaded up with yummy dishes.

Happy Turkey Day!!

'Christmas Mystery'

'Midnight Mystery'

Catching the Light ~ This is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches acrylics on watercolor paper.


I did this little painting from a photo I took last weekend at the New River Gorge.

edit: I just now added this photo (above) to my post. I used a new setting on the camera to get these crazy color effects!

Yellow blooms, pink moon and a new colorscape ACEO ~ Pictured here is a bloom from the yellow tulip poplar tree out in the back yard (above) and a full misty pink moon sailing up behind the same tree...

Below is a new ACEO I finished today. I was mostly just experimenting with colors in this one. I wish a very ~HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY~ to all you Moms out there and I hope youall have a great weekend!
