My Third and Final Entry to the December ACEO Challenge ...

Outside of our kitchen garden window we have an arborvitae that stands at the east end of the window.  We also have a family of squirrels that nest in the tall blue spruce in our front yard.  The squirrels gather and bury nuts all over our yard, later they will dig up their little treasures and many a time I have been working in the kitchen and a motion will capture my attention outside of the window, I look up and I'll see a little squirrel happily munching on a tender nut morsel. 

This happened again today and inspired my third and final entry in The ACEO Challenge which I have titled "Garden Window Visitor"....

 Happy day all!

"A New ACEO for The ACEO Challenge"

Hi all!  It's been a bit since I have made an original ACEO so I decided to take on this month's ACEO Challenge with its theme of "April Showers".  I have additionally taken on a challenge from my hubby to draw a picture of our little miniature pinscher, "Danny Boy".  Drawing animals is, in itself, a very big challenge to me so I have really made a concerted effort to study Danny Boy and finally came up a small illustration that I will actually share.  Bear in mind that Danny Boy loves flowers (he is always burying his little nose into any flowers he finds on his travels) but its "I'm out of here" when it comes to showers!  That said, it took a real act of courage by him to pose for this illustration, he hopes you appreciate his efforts.

This little ACEO is titled "April Showers Bring Sweet Flowers"

May you always have

Love to Share,

Health to Spare,

And Friends who Care!

Fireworks ACEO for ACEO Blog Challenge

 I created this ACEO for this month's ACEO Blog Challenge.  The subject was Fireworks!

 

Fireworks is an original ACEO created with acrylic paint & dimentional paint on 140 lb. watercolor paper. My inspiration was the many exciting fireworks displays that I have witnessed. The primary colors are green, copper, silver & blue. The ACEO measures the standard size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". It is titled, "Timeless Love".

The ACEO will come signed, titled & dated on the back. Because of the dimensional nature of this piece, it will come protected between cardboard. All of my ACEOs are originals.
