ACEO “The Pear”

I thought I would paint a few ACEO cards for auction at eBay.

Once again, the kitchen called my name (7-10 times a day in case you’re curious) and I found this pear sitting over in the fruit basket.

I haven’t done a lot of still lifes but this one was fun. I kept it loose and simple with a graphite sketch and then watercolor over that.

Just so you know, this is an “ACEO” which stands for “Art Cards, Editions and Originals”. They are typically tiny little paintings of just 2.5″ x 3.5″, baseball card size. The neat thing is they most often are original paintings. Such is the case with any that I do at least.

I leave an additional white border around mine so they can be easily framed. These little paintings look really nice all framed up and placed on a desk or on the wall. And of course they can be collected, which was the original intent of “ACEO” in the first place.

So, if you think you just can’t live without it, head on over to eBay by following this link and bid on it.

I’ll paint a few more over the next few weeks. The notion to paint them tends to hit me in spurts and I’m liable to paint just about anything (as usual). So watch for them if you like them.

You can see others I’ve done by clicking the “ACEO Art Cards” category over in the right sidebar category tree.
