ACEO snow angel acrylic with Northern Lights

Snow Angel 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

It has turned bitterly cold here.....as in -40 with windchill this morning.  We don't have that much snow still, but with the onset of cold, it certainly makes it easier to get inspired to paint winter scenes.   This is my rendition of a snow angel, but she's all alone under the Northern Lights :)  As usual you will find my painting listed on Ebay here

Icycles - aceo - acrylic painting

Spring Thaw 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

It's a little early to be thinking about Spring Thaw, but we've had such an unusually warm winter so far (who would think if would be 8+ degrees in January) that you can't help but think of the coming spring.  We literally have no snow on the ground...Unheard of here in Saskatchewan.  Anyway, I wanted to show my rendition of spring thaw.  Something a little different.  You will find this little painting listed on Ebay here

Ice Fishing painting aceo size

Ice Fishing - 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

Another ice fishing painting.  I like to paint the seasons I'm in, so I will probably be painting winter ones for awhile :)  This is listed like always on Ebay here

aceo Ice Fishing, Fisherman at Sunset painting

Catch of the Day   2.5" x 3.5" acrylic

It hasn't been a very cold winter so far.  In fact here in Saskatchewan it's been one of the warmest winters on record.  Believe me...I'm not complaining.  People have started ice fishing...I'm not sure how thick the ice is, but the die hards are out there.  We haven't gone yet.  Anyway, this is my rendition of icefishing up north.  I have listed it on Ebay here

Spirit Wolf returns Northern Lights painting

"Shadows"  6" x 4" acrylic

First painting from me in 2012...It is the second one in my Footprints in the snow series.  I listed it on Ebay here

Graphite Sketch of the grands for Christmas

One of the things I did for my kids for Christmas was do graphite pencil sketches of my Grandchildren for them.  Each one was unique to each family. Hopefully they enjoy them :)

Northern Lights paintings in 4 x 6" size

Light and Ice....4" x 6" acrylic

Silent Night    4" x 6" acrylic

Getting these Northern Lights out of my system before Christmas and then I can move on to another subject and probably go back to smaller format.  I'm not sure that I like painting so large.....wierd eh!

These were posted earlier today on Ebay here

Spirit Wolf - 4" x 6" acrylic painting

Spirit Wolf 4" x 6" acrylic

Funny that is it bigger than I usually paint.  In fact I had trouble adjusting to the larger size :)....Anyway, I wanted to try the wolf silhoette, and wasn't sure I could do it an a smaller scale.  I make try an aceo size yet.  This one is listed as always on Ebay here

ACEO December theme week.....Christmas traditions

Theme week is Christmas Traditions.

The above painting is a 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic  aceo titled "Christmas Morning" and is my rendition of people going to church first thing in the morning.

 This painting is my rendition of the old fashioned tradition of Caroling.  We don't see it much these days.  We did used to have carolers come by when we lived in another town when my kids were small, but haven't seen it for quite a few years now.  A 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic titled "Caroling"

 This last one is my favourite, only because I rarely use coloured pencils.  They are really out of my comfort zone.  I used highlighted acrylics with this also, so it's more a mixed  media.  Titled "Deck the Halls"....2.5" x 3.5"

All 3 are listed on Ebay to qualify for this month's Theme Week competition.  You will find them listed on Ebay here
