Small and Affordable Gems

I am locally known for my small and beautiful watercolor “gems.” They are done on 5×7 Saunders watercolor paper. For years, I worked in this small format (it’s a great way to learn), and I still love it the best. My guest bathroom is full of framed little “gems.” Every guest who comes out of the bathroom raves about my “bathroom gallery.” There’s something about the small size that says, “Cherish this small moment of beauty, a precious gift not to be overlooked or rushed past.” I think you will cherish these gems.

ACEOs stands for Artist Cards Editions and Originals. They are sports card size, 2.5 x 3.5 inches. They have become quite the thing, even showing up as a hot art item on eBay. They are painted with same materials as the larger watercolors. And they are so affordable. Many are deckle edged, so they can be “float matted,” and then framed and displayed on a little easel. Lovely!
