Hi Rusty
- I don’t think you were with us when we did our ACEO theme last year? A lot of people didn’t know what ACEO’s were (including me). Now I’m an ACEO wild woman. Very pretty one.

Sonya, a reflection of my mood at the time. This is a self portrait but I just couldn’t bring myself to reveal more, hence the title.

Vikki,
I was not part of the challenge then. I have a collection of aceo’s from other artists. I am thrilled with what some artists can do on such a small surface. As long as it stays that size any medium goes. FUN

really, really neat piece. But you’re so pretty – why the reticence?

well Lou, I think a self portrait reveals how you see yourself, at least in the moment. I know there is a lot that I never directly reveal about myself (how revealing is that?!) So I painted me that way.

IHi Rusty! I love this – can’t believe it is a tiny aceo – it looks to me like you are peering out over the bed covers – fabulous!

Beautiful eyes and yes, I agree with Fanny, it does seem as though you’ve just woken up but still sandwiched between your pillow and quilt. Lovely. When do we get to see the rest of you?

Fanny,
I didn’t think about bed covers. Now that you mention it, I do see it.

Ray,
There is no more of me. I’m just a couple of eyes and a high forehead. No mouth, I don’t really have much to say anyway.
Seriously, I am surprised that I got such a likeness. That is one of my looks.

I can’t believe this is so small! I didn’t realize it at first. Very cool!

Rusty, so soft and flowing…eyes say it all, they are the window to the soul. Can not believe this is so small. (I had not heard of these but I will be doing a few.)
