Blue Vase of Flowers

I was sitting, frustrated with my illness... and suddenly, I grabbed my new Oil Pastels, and piece of Senso Canvas and I just started painting.

This ACEO just designed itself and I enjoyed being a part of the process!

It's painted with Sennelier Oil Pastels and sealed with matte varnish. It has landscape and iridescent pastels so it has some great shimmer as well as the texture you can see in the picture.

I think all the great ACEO's on Etsy recently has really inspired me to create. Come visit my shop The Creators Palette to see more of my new work.

Kissing Gourmies???

Ever seen a fish kissing another fish?

They really exsist! They're called "Kissing Gourmies" and they are pink fish with big lips. You have to have 2 in your tank and they go up to each other and really kiss!

This was my inspiration for this ACEO "Kissing Gourmies". It's created with Prismacolor Pen, india ink and watercolor. I also used a Duochrome watercolor over the top to create a shimmering water effect!
