Nibblefest, Pennyfest, Inspiration and Challenges

Inspiration and Challenges

These are some of the sketches I made for Paper, Paint, Pencils and Pens this week.  Please join us if you need inspiration.  Every two weeks the theme changes. This theme is Gardens and Parks.
These are all scenes from my yard.  They will be available for purchase in my Ebay or Etsy stores.  

I collect ACEO's, too!  Check out Pennyfest for real bargains  with over 170 pieces starting their auction at one penny.  I have 13 ACEO's in there.  I usually buy more than I sell in this one!  LOL.  Here is one of them.  Magenta Flowers.

At the end this Sunday, it will become an art Feeding Frenzy.  People bid on Ebay a lot at the last minute.

Inspiration: I cannot stress how much the challenges and groups and blogs I belong to have added to my enjoyment of painting and art.  I meet such great people and get so inspired.  I would never have painted any of these particular pieces of art if I had not been a part of these inspirational groups.  

Nibblefest:  Every month on the 20th, you can find bargains galore.  All auctions start at 99 cents.  Here are a couple of mine.  The theme is DOORS.  

9x12 Watercolor on Hot Press Paper:  The Tardis

9x12 Acrylic on Canvas Board:  Fort Churchill, Old Building

A Colorful Portrait, PennyFest Auctions, and a Free Painting

DPW CHALLENGE:  I painted this 8x10 using Golden Liquid Acrylics on Canvas Board: A Cuban Farmer wearing a Straw Hat and smoking a cigar, using Stephen Bennett's unique style of realism using interpretive color, done for a DPW challenge using Ion Sheramet's photo for reference "a picture of a Cuban tobacco farmer taken in the Viñales Valley" - What a fun challenge! I loved painting it. 

For Auction on Daily Paintworks, Bid here.

PENNY AUCTIONS:  

2.5 x 3.5 inches.  Palm Tree by the sea.  I have added 13 ACEO cards to the PennyFest on Ebay, all auctions starting at one penny.  I have so many of these little gems, that I don't mind giving them away.  Here is the link if you want to bid on any of them. The 7 day auction started on Sunday, so it will end on Sunday this week the 23rd.  They are practically FREE.  You can also search on ebay for PAF or Pennyfest and see dozens of other penny auctions by other artists.

Speaking of FREE ART, I am offering one of my original PAINTINGS on my blog this week, and the current contest also ends this Sunday. Just go to the blog post HERE and tell me why you want to adopt the artwork, "Cups and Bowls."  I will even pay the shipping.  No cost to enter.

Happy Paint Party Friday Everyone

This Week has been busy, and I am moving as well.

I listed over 100 items in my new EBAY STORE

We had the monthly Nibblefest Art Contest NFAC which had a theme of Aliens.  

It ended on Tuesday.

My 3 entries were:

Sold

He is still for sale on Ebay, for a penny till Sept 1.

Sold

Then I entered the PennyFest where you can list as many ACEO's as you want starting at one penny on Ebay.  I listed a bunch of them.  Everyone promotes each other's art.  It is fun, and a great group on Facebook. The auctions have to end on September 1, 2013.  If you want to see all the great art offered for reasonable prices, just go to Ebay and put in PennyFest and search for them.
