Mermaid In The Water
ACEO  2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Inches
Acrylics and Mixed Media

Just finished this one. I had to take a couple of trips to the scanner and uploaded a couple of time. It's that darned white acrylics. It's awful. It goes on white as a wedding gown and fades even after it dries! I hate that! Whatever. I fixed it as well as a spot I needed to edit, so she is ready.

It will be listed on ebay tonight (Sunday evening) as well as the other two listed below. Hope to see you there.

The Fairy Queen Of The North (aceo # 31)

The Fairy Queen Of The North (aceo # 31)
2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Inches
Acrylics

Falconry is the Fairy Queen's favorite sport. She adores her pet and spoils him with bits of tender meat whenever he pleases his mistress. He can barely take his eyes off her as she is not just the source of food and shelter, but the most beautiful radiant creature in this unforgiving terrain.

Here Is A Close Up...



I am using shiny acrylic paints to accent the jewelry and give the fairy a magical glow...

The Sacrificial Princess (aceo # 29)

The Sacrificial Princess

(click on image above for a larger view)

For centuries the mighty dragon terrorized these lands. Every warrior, knight, and mercenary sent to rid this scourge from their domain was disintegrated by the dragon's terrible fiery breath. Then the dragon would annihilate whatever township, or shire they came from as a lesson to the others.

Finally, the populace decided to appease the invincible beast with tribute. Aside from a seasonal offering of treasure, once a generation, all the maidens of royal blood were summoned by the dragon and he would select the fairest one for his companion.

Thus by great beauty and lavish treasure was the monster's terrible temper sated. The princess is truly in a gilded cage. Her chains are made of jeweled platinum and she is surrounded by the dragon's immense hoard. In one score years, he will free her, if she does not anger him, and she will be replaced by a new prisoner.

This ACEO will be up on ebay shortly. Please click here to view my artwork currently available.

The Elven Queen (aceo # 28)

The Elven Queen
2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches
Mixed media

The magi align the very fabric of reality into a pattern that suits the Elven kind. Their beautiful queen must sit at her throne and view the powerful colorful spectacle as a matter of protocol. The ageless monarch has seen the annual event hundreds of times so she is quite blase' about the whole affair. To keep from getting bored, she makes sure to have a fine book on hand of her favorite tales of adventure, one of the only luxuries she can afford now that she has so many responsibilities.

I hope you like this one. I sure do. I will make more and post as soon as I can. Much distraction at home. Must blaze a path to keep this project going! ;) Hope to see you back then...

This one will be listed tonight on a 5 day listing (click here to see it after 7 tonight)
