Daily Painting: Spaceman ACEO

Spaceman, 2.5" x 3.5", watercolor on 100lb bristol paper

Hi. I decided to give some ACEO's a try (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals). They are small artworks, 2.5" x 3", the size of a baseball card. Because of their standard sizes they can be collected in plastic trading card pages. It's my first attempt. I made a simple spaceman with a moon in the background. It's pretty challenging to make a detailed painting in such a tiny space. I can see how it could get addictive though. I like the idea of tiny original handmade collectible objects of any kind. I'm going to start some more as soon as I post this. When I get a few I'll list them on eBay.

Thanks for looking!
