Birds go to great lengths to migrate. Across
lands and continents far and wide. They
migrate from memory, but I wonder if they
have help on their journey?

ACEO's

Also known as "Art cards, editions and originals", ACEO's are artists trading cards. They have a regulated size of
2.5x3.5 inches and can be of any medium, original or print, for the use of selling or trading. It's a great way to own
art without spending much money. This page is where all my full sized ACEO's are displayed. They're too small to
have separate gallery pages. If you're interesting in buying or trading ACEO's, please contact me.

Note: All ACEO's for sale are originals. There is no shipping charge for them unless more than 2 are bought.

“Lucky Five Leaf” was also spawned
from extra paint from “Arctic Sovereign.”
This small, business card painting
depicts a five-leaf clover. A five-leaf
clover really does exist – throughout
2009 I’ve collected eight or nine of them,
not to mention 40+ four leaves. I have
one clover that grew in a pyramid
formation (most of the five leaves are
random) that I painted here, and I
consider it especially lucky. Maybe
having a painting of a lucky five-leaf
clover can pass the luck around.

Everyone I know has tried it
at least once – pull the
petals off a daisy, saying,
“they love me, they love me
not…” It’s something that’s
been around a long time. I’
m guilty of doing it, just for
the sake of curiosity (I don’t
enjoy tearing up the simple,
beautiful flowers though.) If
you rely on the old wise
tales, for fun or for
guidance, keep this mind:
Even if the last petal says,
“love me not”, make sure
there wasn’t a petal
missing to begin with.

Enemies in fairy tales aren’t always clear. My friend
helped show me that when she wrote a paper about
German fairy tales (the basis for most American
versions). One of these “villains” is Rumplestiltkin. A
poor girl is sold by her father to the king – he promises
to the king that she can spin straw into gold. The girl,
not able to do such a thing, asks a gnome (or, as I’ve
portrayed him, an imp) to help her. As payment, the girl
must give him her first-born child. At first glance,
Rumplestiltkin looks like the enemy. He seems like a
lowly creature, wanting to take a baby from its mother.
That isn’t at all the case though. The king’s greed, in
wanting more and more gold, forces the girl into
asking for the imp’s help. He generously helps the girl
and spins the golden thread for her child. Who’s to say
that Rumplestiltkin wouldn’t be a good parent anyway?
In my painting, the baby reaches up to be held and the
imp gladly agrees with a loving smile. The baby may
be a bit big for him to hold properly, but love
surpasses all challenges.
