Horse and Animal Miniature Art by Delia

Miniature and ACEO art

I have been painting miniature paintings for over 20 years, the smallest being 2" x 2" acrylic paintings and 1" Rocks, then for the past two years I have painted the popular collectible ACEO cards 2.5" x 3.5" " the acronym is Art Cards Editions Original, they have become highly collectible on eBay and on the internet. My cards can be found on my websites, in particular "ACEO art by Delia" or on eBay, or at a Gallery in Wisconsin.

I'm not sure why I put myself through the physical and mental pain of painting such small images...however it is satisfying and cathartic, you get to paint many more images then if you where to paint larger ones.

Please remember, the profits I make selling my artworks are donated to my favorite organizations INTOUCH MINISTRY and The WORD FOR THE WORLD, USA ... plus other organizations that spread the word of God, including some animal rescue organizations.

Photos for likeness

ACEO images from photographs

I primarily use my own photographs for the subject matter, but also paint many from memory...just like I did for the Gallop Home LLC Board Game, Coloring Book and Puzzles, all from memory.(check out my Gallop Home Lens)

Some ask, can you paint the image to look like the photo? Yes I can, however when I paint for myself I like to tell a story, so I incorporate a different background or color...artist discretion.

My large paintings have a tiny, tiny angle or cherub incorporated somewhere in the painting...where it's placed is only disclosed to the person who buys the painting.

Generally I take about 5 to 8 hours to create a very detailed 2.5" x 3.5" image. More importantly they are quality images for someone to enjoy at a great pricing deal.

My first Portrait Commission...

of a young girl and her pony

I just just bought my first computer and made a website for my artwork. What a good way to let people see your artwork all over the world..

A client in California found me on the internet requesting a 8" x 10" acrylic painting of her little girl and her pony, using only 2 photographs and communicating through emails....The client loved this painting, and I was pleased to have made someone happy. They ended up buying another painting I had on the website...

Another Commission for a client...

a small painting with a big subject

This painting was done in acrylic 8" x 10" in size...a gift from a horse owner to a trainer... My client was very pleased and her trainer was happy as well.

Xmas Commission

of a Friesian Circus horse

Equine Art by DeliaI enjoyed painting this image... this horses' named is Albert,. the woman that owns him has many other Friesian horses showning at a circus or a show of sorts.

ACEO cards of Flowers

a new paper and experiment

I tried something new a while back, four Abstract Flowers with Acrylic on Yupo Paper...these images are 2.5" x 3.5" ACEO size, the paper is suppose to be for watercolors but it was fun using acrylics even though a challenge

ACEO Miniature cards 2.5" x 3.5"

Samples of some of the cards

I have painted over 300 ACEO Miniature cards, a few I kept for myself. You can see some of these cards on my website.

Although some of my ACEO's sold for good money, most of these paintings had so much time invested in them for the price they sold, that I just could not justify selling them on eBay for a few dollars anymore...

    Amazing paintings! What a wonderful talent you have and it's great to see that you've put it to good use. I used to do miniature paintings on shells and stuff when I was in my teens and enjoyed it then. I hope one day I can rekindle that hobby. Blessed! :)
