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 places.
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 6 years ago
first time painting a portrait
This was the first portrait request, 8" x 10" acrylic. I had just got a computer and made a website for my artwork, the client found me on the internet. I was pleased that this was a good way to let people see what my work looks like, and gives someone the opportunity to have a painting done...the client lived 1200 miles away. I used only 2 photographes...a little girl and her pony. I liked the way it turned out, so did the client. recent COMMISSION for a client...
a small painting with a big subject
Although I have not had a chance to paint since my involvement of painting a 16'x 20' Mural, this is the only commission I painted for a client at Xmas...Painting on the right, is done in acrylic paint 8" x 10" in size...I don't care to do portraits, so to speak, they are stressful when you have never seen the horse or person in person...but I can say the client was very happy, and that makes me happy. ACEO MINIATURE cards 2.5" x 3.5"
SAMPLES OF SOME OF THE CARDS
I have painted over 250 ACEO Miniature cards, a few I kept for myself, you can see some of them on my website for these cards...These paintings had so much time invested in them for the price they sold...I just could not justify selling them on eBay for a few dollars...
