Collection of some of my latest ACEO paintings

I keep creating & posting my little paintings, hoping they bring a bit of joy to those who purchase them. It gives me joy to paint them and hopefully that feeling passes on to the recipients! All of them have a Spring theme now and cheery colors.

Hope this post brightens your day!!!

Angry Bird

For the past several days, a male cardinal has been waging war on his reflection in our living room window. It's great entertainment for the cats, but after taking a few photos I scared him off, worried that he would knock himself out as he attacked his "foe" by banging into the glass.

Our Cute Cats

Oblivious to the troubles of the world outside our doors, our cats enjoy a simple life. They're the picture of peace and tranquility. It helps just to look at them!

Spring arrived with a whisper and bits of bright color here and there. Here are views of our springtime world from inside out :)

Shimmery Afternoon

Today, we had an afternoon hailstorm. It lasted just a short while, and, after it stopped, the sun came out and the trees looked so pretty, shimmering in the light.
