Butterfly Garden


I decided to name this one Butterfly Garden.
It's been kind of cool. I look at it, concentrate on what I feel, and a name comes to me.
It's just about done, I just need to do a bit more tweaking. See if I can make the top butterfly pop. Plus, I may have forgotten his legs, oops.
This painting has been exciting from the very beginning, and has just flowed.








Here we are in the process of the painting. I can't help but start on the center of interest, in this case the butterflies. My goal is to make the big black and yellow butterfly the center of attention, followed by the middle one, and then you notice the smaller bottom one, that's why he's a little hidden in the flowers.

Here's an aceo I did this morning. It's another painting from my mothers day bouquet.

Garden Path ACEO





Some photos wouldn't necessarily work for a larger painting, but are just perfect for an aceo. ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals. They are always 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The size of trading cards.
They are affordable miniature works of art, and I love creating them.

This one photo I have intrigues me, so I am going to use it for an aceo.


I drew out the composition on heavy card stock paper.



I started with the main two flowers, keeping true to the colors in the photo. From start to finish, this one probably took me 2-3 hours.


























This is the finished piece. I decided to call it Garden Path ACEO
