I finished 30 Landscape ACEOs in September, now on to thinking about Christmas themes. I will be doing a challenge in the Facebook Group 30 ACEOs in 30 Days from October 15 - November 15. Join us to see all the lovely work created by a group of fun artists, and make some of your own.
What I painted this week . . .
6x6 "Ponytail Girl," Red Hair, up close face portrait. Done with Acrylic on wood panel, 3/4 inch thick, painted black all around so you can sit it on a shelf, or hang it without a frame if you like. Painted in Chantel's Online Facebook Acrylic Atelier, where Chantel Chantel Lynn Barber shares her expertise and offers reference photos to paint, plus gives critiques of your efforts. Thanks, Chantel!
5x7 Acrylic on Wood Panel, painted black on 4 sides, so it can be displayed on a shelf or hung without a frame.

I guess I am still in a Floral Mood. I finished 100 Painted Posies for Artomat, and now I am still doing flowers on ACEOS 2.5 x 3.5 inches, in Acrylic on heavy paper for collectors.
Wow yummy array of artwork this week...Love it all the pet portraits and the ponytail are amazing!! Beautiful flowers too! How you paint so beautifully small on aceos is always so perplexing for me!!

I use a very tiny brush! LOL.
DeleteWhat a wonderful display of art to view! Things that really got my attention were the dog's pink tongue, the other dog's eye, and the perfect rendition of a person's ear! How fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how everyone likes different things. That's what makes the world so interesting, I guess. Thanks!
DeleteWhat a wonderful collection, one lovelier than the other, but Max has to be my fave! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks, Valerie. I like Max too!
DeleteWhoa... such a lot of fabulous artwork Penny,
ReplyDeleteI love them all... especially the dogs and I'm so happy that the Scotsman is sitting so correctly in his kilt! ;D
Happy PPF to you
You know, Nessie. I thought of that as well. The Scotsman in his Kilt. LOL.
DeleteI always enjoy perusing through your new artwork, especially since I have one of your pieces in my personal art collection. I especially like fascinating Scotsman and the lovely Meeko paintings this week. Happy belated PPF and Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Arnoldo. I am so glad you enjoy my paintings. It makes me happy!
DeleteThe shaggy dog is my favorite! He is so dimensional! That tongue looks real - like he could just reach out and lick me! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammie,
DeleteThe tongue was a challenge. Like painting teeth. I did a cat's tongue once, but this one turned out much better!
I love the little dog--he's my favorite. Your technique is so intriguing. Your style is unmistakeable. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi, Beth. I did not know I had a style! Thank you!
DeleteSo much work! The dogs are my favorite. What faces! Adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. Painting Pet Portraits is my specialty. I love animals.
