ACEO - Rockland, Maine

Since I"m working on a larger commission painting I'm sharing another mini today!

I've had a lovely weekend of rest with the family. It was our 17th wedding anniversary, so we relaxed most of the weekend. We went out to eat and got some Seadog Blueberry beers for me!  Even took my 13 year old to see the Minons movie, yep my first one and I have to admit...it was pretty cute. 

Since it's the last bit of summer I"m squeezing in here and I'll be taking off Monday too!

Hope you have a great Labor Day.

Day 25 of 30 in 30 Challenge "Easy to Spot" Cardinal

Click Here To Purchase

Guess what....using some of my new ink colors today, very exciting! This Cardinal was painted with Raisin, purple twilight, and Meadow Green. Funny, when I first started with the inks I really had a hard time manipulating them but after some practice and "sticking with it", it's become very rewarding.

More Alcohol Inks available at Kellie Lynn Art Etsy Store.

ACEO - Not For Sale

  This one was painted for one of my dearest friends. Her maiden name was Fox. 

This cute little fox hung out around our old house all the time. We could hear it doing it's strange territorial call at 2am in the morning. I would then jump up really quick and make sure our cat Taz was in the house!

"Gary's Christmas Robin"
ACEO - 2.5x3.5" Watercolor


I love painting from photographs, but I'm not that great at taking them! HOLY COW...I stumbled on a fantastic website for me! It's called PMP or Paint my photo, here's my link if you want to check it out.

Basically it's where photographers share their work on the Paint My Photo site for artist to use. They have a lot of talented people on there!

1 Day Auction starts at $24.99

SOLD! ACEO - Artist Trading Card or ATC "Red Cardinal"

Day 6 - "PROUD"

Thought I would change this up at bit! I've decided that my "STYLE" is Change. I am always switching things up with my art. I really enjoy the detailed paintings, but I find my self getting burnt out or creatively stressed after completing a major detailed painting. It's not a bad thing really, but I just find that I need to work on something less "EXACT". So the ink paintings have been a great change of pace for me.

Six days in I was ready to detail again...but didn't want to commit to a big detailed painting. I've been meaning to do some ACEO's so it' the perfect time during this 30 day challenge! These are small 2.5 x 3.5 Trading card size.

ACEO's are miniature pieces of art!  All of them are the exact size and can be traded or swapped.  They can be any media, but need to fit a standard trading card sleeve.

I found a package of 10 cold press watercolor paper by Strathmore at my local Craft Mania store.
Getting ready to have more fun with these! Going to try to keep them simple, we'll see how I do.....keeping things to a minimum.
