ACEO 2 - Original Acrylic Artist Card Still Life of Pears by Pennsylvania Daily Painter Pat Koscienski

ACEO 2
Acrylic
2.5" x 3.5"


Another ACEO painting done with acrylic paint on canvas paper. This photo was provided by Lela Stankovic for one of the Paint and Draw Together challenges. It was such a great photo, I thought I would try it again, but in a much smaller format. This painting can be collected and placed in a plastic sleeve or matted and framed to a larger size. It can be framed or displayed on a small table easel. If you have any questions, e-mail Pat. If interested in viewing more of my art works, please visit my website.

Pat, what is ACEO?

Pat Koscienski said...

Linda, I copied and am pasting this. ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". These cards have one main rule - they are 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card.
The reason for this is, of course, that Art Cards are made to be traded! But while artists were happily trading cards, the general public was left out in the cold, having no Art Cards to trade. A group of artists realized this, and quickly made their cards available for sale at remarkably low prices so that everyone could join in the fun!

Cards are also sold either as originals or editions. Make sure you know which you are buying! If it is a print it should say so, and it should be numbered and signed, usually on the back.

Art Cards can be a riot! Artists from all over the world are creating, and now selling these little gems in different mediums and of different subjects. Watercolor, Oil, Acrylic, Colored Pencil, Pastels, Pyrography, Pen and Ink, Sketching, Collage - the sky is the limit. Abstract, Surrealism, Outsider Art, Impressionism, Expressionism -every style you can think of - and then some!. Every interest and subject is covered! Extremely collectable Pocket Art, you can't stop at just one!

Hope this helps.

I don't like pears to eat but you sure make me want to bite into one with this beautiful piece, Pat. Those colors are just stunning!
