ACEO Painting of Gold Fish

The Color Gold


The Color Gold is a completed ACEO. I thoroughly enjoyed painting this piece. The painting was inspired by the book "Hail Stones and Halibut Bones", which was my favorite book to read as a child. And the part in the book about gold is one I read over and over again. I can't get enough of it.

ACEO, WIP's of Dolphins at Play

* A Dolphin Day *



I have just started a new water color and I think I will call it "Dolphins at Play". It is a WIP.


Here are three cheerful dolphins snickering under the sea from a little fish joke. I was painting this water color/color pencil "Dolphin Trio" along with the "Dolphins at Play" today at school and I like how they are turning out. I found that starting out with color pencil and then painting over the art card is a great technique for getting the appearance I want.
