One Single Wish





These is a mixed media painting,with a couple of progress shots, which I have finished today, entitled One Single Wish.
The canvas was primed and collaged using pressed leaves,handmade papers,oil sticks,paper ephemera and paints,then the image was worked into using many layers of oil,inks and acrylics. This art work measures 8" x 18" on deep sided gallery wrapped ( staple free) block canvas .
It was quite a time consuming project but I knew exactly the effects that I wanted to achieve and it was a great joy to create-and I have to say I am delighted at the result!
I finished the work with a light coating of artist's semi-gloss varnish just before I left my studio tonight,which further enhanced the rich layers of subtle dreamy hues ( I took the photos before varnishing to avoid any glare) and really look forward to hanging the work in all it's glory in my studio tomorrow!
This piece is available for sale ( although I haven't got it listed in my online store just yet( I need some food first it has been a long, but productive day!)- I will add further details as soon as I have uploaded a purchase listing, please click on the photos to enlarge view in the meantime!

New Artist Trading Cards for the collector in you... ;)

New ACEO designs just added to my ebay store. What are ACEOs???? ACEO is the acronym for "Art Cards Editions and Originals". An ACEO is a small piece of art that can be defined by it's convenient 2.5 x 3.5 inch size. (Standard trading card size) ACEOs are VERY different from trading cards however, because they are CREATED and traded or sold by artists. All my ACEOs are absolute ORIGINAL pieces of art! (Some artists choose to sell prints of their work -'editions' ) ACEOs are created in any medium available in the art world. Artists are creating them in ALL kinds of styles and varieties. There are no rules limiting the artist, outside of the size dimensions. ACEOs can be framed, propped, used as bookmarks,grouped together in larger frames......use YOUR imagination! Trading Card notebooks, sleeves and holders can all be used to display them. BECOME A COLLECTOR YOUR SELF OR BEGIN A COLLECTION AS A SPECIAL GIFT FOR A FRIEND TODAY-THE VARIETIES ARE ENDLESS!
