Original ACEO Painting SPRING Cove Landscape Forsythia

"Spring Cove"
ACEO
Acrylic
Pull up a lawn chair and look out onto this spring view of a cove framed with mounds of daffodils in front of a rambling New England stone wall, brilliant forsythias, and a romantic magnolia tree. Ah, it's another beautiful spring day! :)

For emphasis and to add a more 3 dimensional effect, I have painted some areas of the painting with a palette knife so I could lay the paint on heavily.

White Flowering Spring Tree Under the Moon

"White Moon Tree"
ACEO 2.5"x3.5"
Acrylic on linen panel
SOLD to a collector in the U.K.

I saw some lovely white flowering trees the other night. I've seen them every spring, but I don't believe I've ever seen them at night under the moon. I knew immediately that I wanted to paint them, so I took some photos. I most always have my camera with me for just such a moment! Here is one of my photos. The photo was taken in a parking lot and there was no grass as the area around the trees had been mulched. The moon was off to the left outside of the photo.


In my painting, I put the white spring flowering tree on bright green grass set against a black star-filled sky and illuminated by the moon.

Spring is here and it is just beautiful this year! Bright yellow forsythias set against spring green grass are in bloom and they seem to be everywhere! It's such a joy to drive anywhere now, in the city or in the country and see all the beautiful spring blossoms! I look forward to the flowering dogwoods, pears, and crab apple trees next! :)

I have decided to do a Dreamscape series of ACEO's and larger paintings. This original tree/landscape painting falls into my surreal Dreamscapes series as well. I love where this painting takes me. I imagine laying in the tall grass of a lush green meadow on a warm summer night, star-gazing... :)

Vote in the poll I've posted in the column on the right. It will help me to know what size paintings to paint! I value your input. Thanks!

10% of final sale of this painting will support Plant a Tree in Haiti and Help 155 Families Eat-a Global Giving Project
About this nonprofit: When you're poor & utterly destitute it is impossible to think beyond immediate needs. Food, fuel. A place to sleep. Long-term concerns are tomorrow's problem. In desperation, Haitian villagers cut down trees to get fuel for cooking. Then the hurricanes came and eroded the farmland. Now family farmers have nothing to cook. A peasant organization in Haiti wants help planting trees so they can farm again.

Original ACEO Painting Dragonfly Dream Night Pond Moon

SOLD to a collector in California, USA

Dragonflies are one of my favorite subjects to paint. In this painting the beautiful and graceful dragonfly flies above a gleaming pond by the light of a pale yellow moon and starry night sky. I wonder if dragonflies really fly at night.

I'm thinking of starting a series of dreamscape paintings in small or medium format.
