Latest artwork!!

Aren't holidays wonderful for fostering creativity - I was so much more productive in the glorious relaxed mode of vacation than I can ever hope to be in our usual hectic life. I think we should go on holidays more often!!!!! These are the 6 artworks completed whilst we were away:

Party Animal ACEO (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Coloured pencils, ink and markers on drafting film
MacCheeky ACEO (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Coloured pencils, ink and markers on drafting film.

The Flame ACEO (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Coloured pencils and ink on drafting film.

Sweet Dreams ACEO (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Coloured pencils on drafting film.

Fagan Park Fine Art Miniature (6.5cm x 9cm)
Coloured pencils and markers on drafting film.

Cool Relief Fine Art Miniature (6cm x 8.5cm)
Watercolours on Illustration Board

All ACEO's are available for purchase from my Ebay Store. The fine art miniatures will be saved for Miniature Art Exhibitions.

Wow, Karen, I'm impressed!!! Vacation is the one time I usually DON'T make art, but whatever works, right?

What lovely pieces, all of them.

Ditto what Mona said Karen...WOW!That is quite a collection of little masterpieces. Very nice.

Thank you so much Deb and Mel.
Deb, I think we hope our artwork is gorgeous, but I find it hard to see it as others would. As soon as I finish a piece I'm over it and ready for the next one, and there are only a couple that I look at and feel really happy with.

Karen, these are fantastic, how busy you have been! I post updates when I've completed a leg etc but you post a whole gallery!

Unknown said...

LOL - Thank you so much Karie-Ann, it was only because we were away for two weeks and I didn't have access to a scanner, so had to save them all up!!! :)

Wow, love them all, but absolutely adore the kitten. He is just precious. Well, the wallabye is wonderful too (I think it's a wallabye- or is it a kanga?) Whatever- wonderful work. Vacations agree with you!

Unknown said...

Thank you so much Carol for your wonderful feedback - this one is a wallaby - she actually had a joey in her pouch but it was hidden in the darkness. :)

Karen, these are beautiful and done while on vacation???? My favorite is The Flame, so sweet!

Thank you for your kind comments Barbara - it is interesting how sometimes one artwork will appeal more than others to people - The Flame has definitely attracted the most interest of all these 6 artworks and yet it probably has the least detail.
