Some New Colored Pencil ACEO's...

I am learning some new colored pencil techniques from a book I recently purchased titled "Colored Pencil Painting Bible" by Alyona Nickelsen.   Ms. Nickelsen brings the dynamics of colored pencils to a wonderful new level.  I know I will never be able to accomplish work like hers ... but I am certainly learning to improve!

"Indian Corn"

Let's Go Fishing!

Boy I don't know about you but I'm ready for summer. I live  near the water and can't wait to be out on it again! 

This Largemouth Bass ACEO is colored pencil on black suedeboard. He's ready to take my bait! LOL  The card is available in my Etsy shop. Here's the link to the listing:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/66689925/colored-pencil-aceo-original-largemouth

A Rose for You

SnowFlake Fantasy

I am new to the group (hi!), so I thought I would introduce myself with my latest ACEO.



This card was inspired by the FAE (Fantasy Artists of Etsy) Street Team's Snowflake Fantasy contest. You can see some of the other entries here.

This is MY fantasy. Small dragonlings carefully guide each snowflake to its designated spot in the sky so that it will fall "just so" and at exactly the right time. This ACEO is my own interpretation of the magic in the ordinary.
