[#14]

good one Mel! now I'm reminded of the large slab of ribs that tips over Fred Flintstone's car at the Drive-Thru. . . Yabba Dabba Do!!

[#15]

Yabba Dabba Do!!!! And YIPPEE TOOOOOO!!!!! Both of my painted ACEO Musk Ox just sold!!!! Oh I cannot wait to send them and get the buyers response as I am quite proud of them. I have only just begun painting ACEO size and it is so different to larger format art ...much more difficult I think ;-) Hats off and round of applause for all ACEO artists! Regards, Belinda

[#16]

Yay Belinda! Congrats :) I have 2 more musk ox ACEOs up my sleeve and then I'm done. The last one will represent the finality of my decision. You'll see what I mean when you see it. -Ann

Congratulations, Belinda! And I totally agree that ACEOs are much more difficult to paint. On larger format canvas, I can just throw paint down and smear it around with my fingers. Presto! Abstract art. With ACEOs . . . not so much. For me, they require a LOT of time, a lot of detail work, and not much margin for error. I don't think sellers realize what a labor of love these cards are for us. Some do, but I believe that there are many buyers with the mindset that because they are small, they should be cheaper. :( Kathy

I'm pretty sure the musk ox ship has sailed (only a few listed now, no bids), but I had started this one a while ago and just finished it last night. It's "scheduled" (ha, ha, ha) to start at 6-ish tonight. "The Last Musk Ox" priced this one quite a bit higher than my other ACEOs, took a lot of time and I really like it, so I don't want to be sad if it sells :) -Ann
