Day 51

Day 51 "The Tortoise"

"Two New Fantasy Illustrations!"

I must have been in the mood for a bit of fantasy when I illustrated these two little numbers which I have titled "My Inner Elfs" and  "A World Of Our Own".  These are black and white illustrations complete with elves, mushrooms, plus much more.   I have just listed them for sale as authorized art prints in My Etsy Shop.


In addition to being black and white compositions, they also makes dandy coloring pages! Children of all ages (we all have an inner child in us somewhere) will find delight in coloring them in using colored pencils and fine line color marking pens. When completed, if one decides to add their own color, one can add to the bottom of the page "Colored by ________________".  Thereby adding their own creativity to the piece!

"Five New ACEO's!"

I just love ACEO's!  When you have a little bit of time you can create a little piece of art.  An ACEO creation can be created just about anywhere, snuggling up on the couch, sitting in a car, camping, in the middle of the night when you can't get back to sleep, filling in time at a local art show .... they have to be an artist's best friend when one has only a bit of time and not enough energy to work on something larger.

That said, I have been squeezing in little ACEO's here and there for the past week and finally got them photographed and ready to list in my Etsy Shop later on this week.  In the meantime, I thought I'd take out a bit of time to share them with my friends.

"A Floral Knot"

"A Knot of Shamrocks"

"Three Tortoises" (already listed in my Etsy Shop)

"Mushroom"

"Mushrooms and Fern"

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and letting me share my artwork with you.

"Tory The Tortoise"

I liked the tortoise in my last illustration ("My Chinese Mudmen") so well that I decided to put him on an ACEO (2.5"x3.5") and named him "Tory The Tortoise". He is quite a cute and charming little character and dearly loves long leisure walks and meeting old and new friends along his journey.

Please keep in mind that, because the drawing has been scanned to the computer, the image is considerably larger than the actual art piece. Therefore, you can not realize the delicacy of the line work and fine detail of the image as a result.

This ACEO original measures 2-1/2" X 3-1/2", has been created on water color acid free paper and has been sealed with protective laminate. The back is dated with the date the illustration was completed, the title of the piece and my signature.  I also have open edition ACEO prints of this drawing for $1.00 each.  

Happy Day to All!
