Continuing my obsession with whimsical little cities, I've created three more ACEOs. I collaged the backgrounds some time ago without really knowing what I was going to do with them. After my last ACEOs, which had little buildings, I decided I really love making houses and jumbles of buildings, which I call cities. I drew these with paint pens onto my collaged backgrounds. Paint pens are great because they are bright and shiny and cover almost anything! You can click on them to enlarge them and they are all for sale in my Etys : )

 Is he teasing her, or offering her his favorite treat or both? She's just not sure about that strange red food.
This is my newest mixed media piece inspired by a photo taken at a pre-school party and the weird and wonderful world of five year olds. I love painting on old book pages because the layers allow for all kinds of meanings and interpretations. The painting kind of creates itself! Also, they really did make those hats out of construction paper! These things only happen when you are that age.    I've done a series of ACEO's for my Etsy shop. I have three more which I need to photograph, but they are slightly different. I've always loved doodling little boxes. Boxes protect things and create order and structure. Our homes are like boxes and our cities are like collections of boxes. Life can be unpredictable and bewildering, but boxes are safe and comforting. Oh My! Does that mean I'm an inside the box thinker? Maybe, part of me would just like to be sometimes.
