This little ACEO (Artist Cards Editions & Originals) is an original watercolor and ink pen from a series of ACEO bird drawings. Most of you already know, but for those who don't, an ACEO can be created in any media but it must be 2.5" x 3.5" (or 3.5" x 2.5"). I love to create them and challenge myself with a number to create or by sticking to a certain theme.

Linda Olafsdottir is SCBWI's July/August Bulletin's "selected artist" for that issue. She has some amazing illustrations. I especially love her drawings of children--very natural & beautifully drawn.
Just spent a wonderful week in Colorado with my daughter. I had an art tent at the Evergreen Summer Arts Fest--wonderful weather, very nice people, and amazing landscape. While watching the crowd go by the tent, I worked on some small cards (ink pen and watercolor). I discovered that the ink pen that I was using bled, but I kinda liked the effect with the watercolor, so I just kept going, very carefully.
This is one of the pieces, and the banner above (titled
Howling Sun) is another. With August just around the corner, I was thinking about the idiom "the dog days of summer." August is one of our hottest months in Louisiana. I'm really going to miss the cool mornings and nights of Colorado!
What's everyone else working on?
