ACEOs for Swap

Hope = Unlimited Love
Hope = The Key to Dreams
Decided to participate in my first ATC swap.  Going to try this group for the next 3 months as I feel it is a very safe environment.  Don't know about you, but I am reluctant to go to things online that I don't know anything about.  Especially if it involves financial dealings.

This Month this particular group is raising money for St. Jude's hospital.  I think that is a very worthwhile cause so am happy to participate.  As you can probably determine Hope is the theme.  Again, doing themes isn't one of my strong points.  I am always so blown away by what, the number of ideas and the execution that people can come up with to do a theme.  They also have a FACEBOOK page and already their ideas are unbelievable.

I believe that there are not only folks from the US in this group, but a fair number of international participants as well.  It will be kind of exciting to see what I end up with and it will begin my collection of ATCs, well from others than just mine.  

DO YOU WANT TO SWAP:  
I would love to trade with you, as many of you are such great friends and having a piece of your work just would bring you closer to me.  

Only requirement, on any type of paper, card stock, cereal box, etc. with a size of 2.5"x3.5".

If you are interested in trading an ATC, very light, and regular envelope size would make it not too expensive if you are international, let me know at artaccentsbynelvia@gmail.com.    We can exchange addresses there and figure it out.

Thanks much for stopping by.

These are super little paintings Nelvia. I am with your about themes as I never seem to get an idea that works. I will email you to get in on the trade - I assume that these are separate from the Hope exchange and that no theme is required - lol

I haven't done an ACEO for a long time, but I think they are such a good way to share art.

Magnolia Blossoms Acrylic 11"x14" “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”   - Bob Ross I thought this was a wonderful quote.  I don't know if it has happened to you, but people say, oh you are so talented.  Not true, couldn't be farther from the truth, although I am sure there are many artists who do possess that something extra, something special.  But for the most part for the rest of us, it is just a matter of studying,  learning your  tools and materials, practicing, and then start to trust your inner self.  I am on a journey to try to find my voice.  Not that I am a late bloomer, but I should have already found it, yes?  I guess what I am really looking for is the way I wish and want to paint.   Not necessarily how I have been doing it. I am pleased with this piece.  Many thanks to Sanne who put this wonderful reference piece up at PMP.  Personally I think Magno...

DAY 19 Noise

Image
Noise I have noticed, now that we live out of the hard core suburbia, how much we get quiet.  I mean actual quiet, no kids, no dogs, not cars, not motorcycles, no sirens, etc. etc.  How many waves, noise carrying waves, go through our bodies every day.   Phone, radio, tv, fiber optics, microwave, etc. etc.   Can that really be good for us? Anyway, I never know what I am going to get and this was a pretty quick one since I had a big time work day, for me.   But I got some really clean windows - am really ready for Fall, wish the temperature could understand how ready I really am for Fall!!. Thanks much for stopping by.

Nicolae's GF Laughing Giraffe mixed media portrait

Nicolae's Giraffe Over the years we have decided the places we like to visit and have gone back multiple times.   In this day and age I think it is uncommon that in a hotel environment the workers would have been there 10-35 years.  So friendships develop.   Each of the people we have encountered have made our stays extra special in a variety of ways.   One of the ladies that works the check in desk had a baby last year.   Since we were unable to go in November we just saw her when we were in DC.   He is now 14 months, and in love with giraffes.  She has a yellow and gray nursery decor and I wanted to do a giraffe.   Wasn't sure if it should be the "kiddie" kind, but thought he might outgrow it.   So I decided to do one semi realistic so that he wouldn't outgrow it right away.  Aren't they just the strangest looking animal? I always wish I would keep my mouth shut, because it does worry me when I say I will paint something - it ...
