July's Abstracts

Found Joy.  12 x 12" on Linoleum Floor Tile Acrylic with embellishments from  Nancy Donnelly's glass studio, and Kashmir's Auto Body. I had such fun sorting through Nancy's scraps of glass and walking around the ground of the Auto Body shop. You never know what you will find in where cars are repaired or put to rest.

The Watchmaker

This is something I did yesterday after an inspiring visit to myrnawacknov.blogspot.com.  I took an old start and drew a face using a little bottle with a tiny tip and Dr. Martin's Watercolor Ink in Venetian Brown.  I added light highlights here and there and this is my watchmaker.

June 2012 ACEOs

These are some of the ACEOs (Art Cards Editions and Originals)  that I have listed or have sold on ebay this month, June 2012. Most of my listings are watercolor, but there are also some acrylic and collage pieces.  This is a great way for people to buy small (2.5 x 3.5") works of art.  I send many of these in mats, so they are ready to put in a standard 4 x 6" frame.
