Siamese Eyes

Another ACEO that I started a few weeks ago but was unsure how to finish it. I am happy with the results and it is for sale in my Etsy store. It is done with acrylic paint, gouache and Micron pen on Bristol board. Dimensions are (of course) 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

ACEO Contour Cat

Micron pen on Bristol board. 2.5 x 3.5 inches

An ACEO painting fool. Green Cat this time.

During and after pictures. I always like seeing progress shots of other artists work so I sometimes post my own. I think the first one would make a great coloring book picture. This was done with Micron pen and gouache paint. 2.5 x 3.5 inches and up on Etsy.

ACEO's. Trying something new

These are ACEO's. For those that haven't heard of them they are "Art Card Editions, Originals" They are artworks done on anything as long as it measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size. If you want to know more about them here are a couple of websites you might want to look at. http://acetsy.blogspot.com/ and http://www.aceomagazine.com/
I listed all three last night on Etsy to sell the original and reproductions. The blue cat eyes one sold almost right away! So maybe I will try a few more of these and see what happens. The top one is pen and colored pencil, the cat eyes is pen and gouache, the bottom one is ball point pen. They are all done on Bristol board.

Abyssinian Cat

Same as the others. =)

Exotic Black Cat

Black cat done in charcoal with watercolor eyes. Aprox 8 x 10 on watercolor paper.

And Now for Something Completely Different

Well, not completely different, I do have some animal pictures up here but for a few days I will put up some of the pet portraits I have done in charcoal. Most of them have colored eyes (except this one) done in watercolors. This is a scan of a photocopy so the quality is not so great but hopefully you get the idea. His name is Ripley. The original is 5 x 7ish.

Arched Door, Siamese and Hollyhocks

This is the door that started all the other doors really. I thought I wanted to do them in colored pencil but after finishing this one I found it very difficult to make it look the way I wanted. I thought I would try gouache and see if it was any better and was really pleased with the results so I did the rest that way.

Mi-ke the Squeaking Cat

This is another picture I did of Mi-ke. Yes, she does squeak, not meow. This is done in gouache on watercolor paper and is 5 x 7.

Mini Pet Portrait

Another in what appears to be (much to my surprise) a series of animal and pet portraits. =) This is one of my cats, Mi-ke. Doesn't she have amazing green eyes? They are kind of a sea foam color and very vivid. I like painting her eyes and will post another picture of her that I did tomorrow. Done in pen and ink, watercolor and gouache.

I Almost Forgot the Last Door!

Here is the last door in the series. I may put up the colored pencil one later on but in my mind it is not part of the series and is very similar to one of the gouache ones so I think it would look kind of strange along side of the others. Here I am trying desperately to think of something to say and I have nothing... silly me. The other pen and ink that I am working on is almost done so I should have that up in a few days.

Door Number Four

As promised, another door with not much to say.
