February, Love is in the Air, First Kiss

"First Kiss" ACEO

Love is in the air is the theme of the ACEO group this month, and my contribution is this sweet memory of my first kiss. Remember your First Kiss? Innocence! Be my valentine. It's that time of the year. Happy Valentine's Day.  Done in loose watercolor and pen.  This is one of my favorite ATC/ACEO cards so far and I have done over 200 of them.

ACEO refers to the size - 2½” x 3½” - also called an ATC or artist’s trading card. Signed by artist. Complete contact info on back - comes in a protective sleeve.

People line the streets during Mardi Gras, so I probably would not like it. I hate crowds. But here is my version of a crowded street. This was painted entirely with my left non-dominant hand, including the liner work and my signature, for a challenge here on DPW. The washes, which I do first, were pretty easy, but trying to control the liner pen with my left hand was quite a challenge. Oh, that's right. It was a CHALLENGE. I have been trying for a loose, free style, and this actually does not look that different from the others I have done for 30 paintings in 30 days. In fact, I think I like the scribbly look somewhat.   Could be a bunch of kids playing Ring Around The Rosie, or whatever.  It's kinda abstract.
