Silly me

Silly me.

     I've been spending more and more time on my each of my ACEOs, rather than less and less as I had originally hoped. I had assumed that as I got used to this small format I would be able to plan and execute then in rapid order. What I didn't count on was the ROYAL SOCIETY OF MINIATURE PAINTERS, SCULPTORS AND GRAVERS butting in. After visiting their site I've been unable to shake the urge to add more and more detail into my drawings/paintings.

Heres one available on Ebay:

You may have noticed that the scanner washed out some of the finer details, but if not, now you know.

Let it Snow

Omg, I got absolutely nothing done ALL October!  I had about 15 halloween pieces planned alone. Then nada. Very very bad, very stressful month. But I'm back now (knock on wood) and here is my first ACEO of November:

..As long as you love me so..

Each detail image is about 1 square cm.

This is being listed for ACEO UK's November Theme Week. Search "UKTW" on eBay to find more themed art by our oh-so-talented members! (If they post some, lol, looks like I'm not the only uber busy one in the club   )

Commissions

I will be making availiable my Miniature Pencil Portraits on a commissions basis. One ACEO sized (2.5 x 3.5") portrait, from your own picture, will be a flat price of £14.99 during November. (The price may go up in December)

It's a very sweet gift that I think would be ideal for posting to relatives. I'm doing one each of my children as a gift to their grandparents.

Please e-mail me for more information: fen_dove @ yahoo.co.uk (delete the spaces)

Harvest Queen

I have a new ACEO (Art Cards editions and originals) listed. Harvest Queen - check it out :)

I'm going to be a bit slow with my listings for the rest of September because I am getting ready for ACEO UK's Halloween Event. All October search "ACEO BOO" to find a scary amount of Halloween themed art by incredible artists :)

I'll be introducing a new character of mine. It's all hush hush just now, check back later!

Artist Statement

I have formally studied Art and Photography for 6 years but my full journey has been much longer than that. The greatest leaps in my ability have always come when I studied independently. I work with a few different mediums but pencil work is always like coming home. I am passionate about the detail that goes into my work. I am specifically interested in the details of the face, as used in portraiture, the subtle, almost minuscule differences, that tell us from one another. I am inspired by the beauty that comes in so many different shapes and sizes. I welcome every opportunity to challenge myself and enjoy exploring new subjects. I have a particular fondness for nature in my work as well as the fantastical. Cats, Angels, and possibly Angelic Cats, are a trend in my current work, but that is subject to frequent change. I'm also available for pencil portrait commissions. A portfolio of random bits of my work is available to view at http://FenDove.DeviantArt.com
