"Nine Christmas Santa Elves"

Over the past several days I have enjoyed the pleasure of creating nine ACEO Christmas Elves, each has their own unique personality and derive joy from their chosen Christmas profession and helping to spread happiness throughout the Holiday Season. As I was looking at these nine charming little individuals, I thought "Wouldn't it be delightful if I could combine them all on one page?!" and so, with help of my handy dandy scanner, I created a unique art print complete with all nine Christmas Elves! 

This charming authorized art print is made on an ink jet printer using 140 pound weight white acid free card stock, size 8-1/2" x 11". The print size is a non-standard 7" x 10", and the individual elves images are slightly smaller than the regulation ACEO size of 2.5"x3.5". But for those of you who would like all nine elves, this is a unique way to do so. Besides being able to frame the entire print, one can cut them apart and use them in a variety of creative ways.

You can find the "Nine Christmas Santa Elves"  for sale in My Etsy Shop as an authorized art print.


Merry Christmas everyone!

Autumn leaves

I painted this 6 x 8 acrylic painting "Red Leaves" from a photo I took a week or two ago when the last vivid leaves were still on the trees. I usually don't paint from photos, or realistic subject matter, so it was a nice little experiment for me and I plan to to more!

Eureka! "The Letters E & U" ....

EUreka!  With the completion of "The Letter E" and "The Letter U" I have finished "The Alphabet Series"!

I began my quest to complete a zentangle alphabet series on 9/18/2010 and finished this project on 11/21/2010.  One letter takes approximately 2 to 3 days to complete.  Many a day I would wake around 6AM and be so drawn to the letter I was illustrating that I would work on it until 5 or 6PM that evening.  Each letter has been lovingly drawn using India Ink on plain white paper, then carefully cut out.  After which I painted a water color background and applied the completed letter to the dried water color.  

I have listed the letters "E" and "U" in My Etsy Shop available with color backgrounds and plain white backgrounds as authorized art prints (8"x10") and Open Edition ACEO's (2.5"x3.5").  

So, with no further ado, I happily share with you ....




Happy Day!

Icarus Fell



Small oil on canvas paper





Long Ago Finished, Finally Listed!


I was putting another drawing away when I came across this one and realized I never listed it in my shop! It is copperpoint on primed Bristol board. Enjoy!

Okay, it's very long and thin, so I guess I should write some more text to go along side it. In addition to being a member of the VAST team, I have also recently joined an Etsy team called Finding Fine Art. I recognized a couple of folks on both teams, but I thought I'd mention it in case there were more VASTies who might be interested. The group does a 'Fine Art Friday', where they feature lots of Fine Art finds from all over, you can shamelessly promote yourself or someone else via twitter, Facebook, treasuries, and, well, not really sure where else yet. I'm still working my way through all the discussions.

Have a lovely Friday!

(As a P.S., I thought I'd list the link to the drawing again, since it kinda disappeared in the body of the text there:
