Original ACEO Kitty Series 1

SOLD


SOLD






I have finally finished the Kitty Series 1; a series of six different Kats. Really the first attempt to put together anything for some years. These are NOT copies nor prints but these are original pieces of art. ACEO cards are Art Cards Editions and Originals, collectable cards measuring 2 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches. These are miniature artworks. I created them on 140 lb white watercolor paper and used mixed media of pencil and colored pencils. Cats are fun and very expressive making them a very exciting subjects. They are available as individual pieces of art, or can make a wonderful, complete series set of six. The lighting during the photography of the ACEO pieces has slightly altered the actual color and eliminated some detail that exists on the card. If you want to see more, contact me.

I really enjoyed putting these together. While playing with these miniature pieces I was reminded of many cats that have been a part of my life. Encluding those special ones like "Tumbleweed" (hmmm, do I hear another portrait calling me?). Found on a back country road only being a whisp of a fur ball over bones. Taken to the vet's office for care and after several weeks of no apparent progress the vet said to take him home and see if he will live. Within days we found him tumbling around with the fallen autumn leaves having great fun while of course bringing us great joy. We new he'd be okay then and he received the name "Tumbleweed". He always remained a small bit of orange tabby fluff, blessed with a happy and sassy remaining life to bring smiles our family's faces. And, the story of Sassy, or Sassafrass, will have to wait for another time.

I do hope these will be reminders of the God-given joys the felines have been in your life.



Enjoy!

How This Gallery Came About


Golden Aspen (acrylic)

Having taken some time off from doing almost everything after an auto accident I am anxious to get moving again. What better way to get back into the groove with setting new goals. My aim is to do several pieces of art each week and limit my time to one hour per piece. The piece may take an hour, or it may take less. The point is do just do it! And of course have fun in the process. There will be a variety of subject matters ranging from cats and frogs to open sky landscapes. My first in One Hour Art Gallery series is a set of six Kitties, or better known to some as cats of felines. If the subject matter inspires a series they will be available as the entire set and also as individual pieces. Most, if not all, will be offered to the public either by viewing it here or through e-bay listings.

So while I'm having fun creating art I hope that you will have fun viewing my art. Take time to look around. Let me know what you think and what responses the art evokes in you. My art has had many "I've been there before" statements. These are great, for we each need to have a sense of place, a reminder of our God given blessings.

To the drawing board!
