Loving the small

Today I painted small and I loved it. So quick & easy. Now I know how painting ACEOs can become addicting! This little guy was painted on a card from one of my daughter's games. Yes, Sleeping Beauty is under all those layers. :)


I used acrylic paint, book pages, watercolor crayons, pen, and various stamps. 


I had love on my mind. The love of art. Isn't it amazing how something can reach your heart and just take hold?


I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
I am joining all the lovelies at

  7. Nice use of a sleeping beauty card... working small can be addictive because it is so immediate and it doesn't matter if you are interrupted every ten minutes like I seem to be!!! Love the results xx

  13. Hi Jen
    Pretty! Painting small is a great idea. I have been procrastinating about getting my oils and acrylics out. Maybe I will paint something really small to take away the hesitation. :) Thanks Jen, I'll borrow your idea.

    Have a good week

  14. It takes some adjustments to paint on a smaller scale but once you do it's so much fun. :) You did awesome on this one!
