I have trouble knowing how to return messages.  Anyway, thanks and yes it is watercolor, never tried pen and ink.  I am using the Soutwest colors right now for two upcoming Southwestern art invitationals.  Sold the Coyote and will have to do another one. The frontal images are difficult and I pay a lot of attention to shadow, detail and lost edges.  Thankls again and keep painting.

I get excited because it never snows in Memphis.......I grew up in the snow belt along Lake Erie...I've always loved the winter....but winters in Memphis  are cold rain...So you just get chilled without the beauty of a new snow fall.  I LOVE Maine it 's my second favorite place in AMERICA after California... We honeymooned there!

Kara asked the same question about the Fall photo, it was a studio shot. I used a piece of flat black cloth to isolate the leaf and used a bare bulb with aluminum foil as a reflector to illuminate the leaf.

Your comment about the title is what I wanted peopel to think, is it Fall as in autum or is it a free fall.  I like to think of it a both.

Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the comment.   I enjoyed your gallery and love your work.  i am kind of in the same boat as you are right now as far as marketing, but have been doing a lot of research.  i have found a site called Wet Canvas.com which has a lot of information in the forums.  I've been having a lot of fun with their weekly all media drawing events as well.

Hello!

 

Thanks for the recent visit & compliments! 

An ACEO is a work of art that measures 2.5" x 3.5". (It must be that exact size, or else it does not qualify as an ACEO.)  ACEOs were designed
to be traded. (ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals".)  I believe that not only are they quite popular on eBay, but I think they originated there also. 

 

I usually enjoy painting much larger!  But, I thought I'd give ACEOs a try. - They're actually pretty fun!

 

All the best,

Hi there!  It takes about 4 days of piecing and grouting for a 30" x 30" piece, if I have a good pattern.  Sometimes I just go freelance and that takes a bit longer, just because I'm experimenting as I go.  It's very time consuming but fun!  We do all kinds of work, from large public art murals to small production mirrors.  I'm currently working on my first sculptures and am working on three at a time (not smart but it seems to be the way we work!)
