Tiger ACEO

3.5″X2.5″ Acrylic on paper

Well I think it is a tiger. Another in the ornament series, although perhaps not a Christmas ornament, I bought it at Christmas to use with a crèche. This was Purchased a few years ago from that wonderful store Ten Thousand Villages, I believe it is “kisii” or soapstone and made in Kenya. There are several other animals in the collection and they were embarrassingly cheap. I will probably paint some more of them. They are fun to do and well suited to this miniature treatment, only about one inch long.

Brown Bird ACEO

3.5″X2.5″ Acrylic on paper

Another Christmas ornament. A bird of indeterminate breed.

Now I am on the homeward stretch, having been posting here for eleven months, I am doing a lot of thinking about what I will do next year. I want to continue painting and posting but whether I will continue to post every day is still to be decided. I am really enjoying playing with many different styles and media but the pressure (self-imposed) to post something every day has been stressful to say the least and has often resulted in my putting something up that was pretty second (or third, or fourth) rate. I am thinking that I will probably post at least three times a week, and sometimes I will post work-in-progress. This will give me the opportunity to paint some larger pieces, something that I have been unable to find the time for over the past year. I will keep you posted (groan).
