This is my latest endeavor, an ACEO, which stands for Art Card Editions and Originals. They are miniature pieces of art always measuring 2.5"x3.5". They are considered very collectible and are often traded like baseball cards. I was inspired by a photo I saw on a Pinterest board I follow by Maryann Rizzo called "People of the World". I call this painting "The Mother" because her care-worn face and blue head-covering immediately reminded me of Mary. Since it is the Christmas season she spoke to me.
She is an original watercolor painted on deckle-edged 140 lb cold-press watercolor paper.
You can see the original inspiration photo on My Pinterest board "Painting Subjects"
Let me know what you think.
Enjoy.
