ACEOs, Perfect for me
Part of the love I have for Artists Cards is collecting them, but what I enjoy the most is painting them. They are perfect for me in that way. Like the rest of you, I'm constantly busy with never enough creative time. As artists, we are naturally limited by the size of ACEOs in how long we can spend on one.
Artists always have ideas floating around in our heads waiting for time. Time to get our art supplies out, undisturbed time when we will be able to concentrate on our project and time to complete this wonderful concept we've been carrying around with us as we go about the rest of our lives.
This is where ACEOs are perfect. We can begin and complete our creative project in minutes, not days or weeks. For me it is something I enjoy and can feel good about, not a chore that I have to finish some day. I'm not very disciplined, so I have a huge stack of those, do you? I love taking some of these pictures I have in my head and putting them on paper. I love the feeling of completion I get with artists cards and knowing I can put my completed project at a small price into the hands of collectors who will enjoy them, too. I think many of these concepts I carry around with me in my head would make great or at least pretty good, full sheet or half sheet watercolors. I also know myself well enough to know that I will never paint them in those sizes. I have a lot of ideas and I enjoy turning them into paintings, very small paintings.
