Hi everyone, I've only just been introduced to this site and I'm excited to find yet another website where I'm able to connect with others who are interested in ACEO art. I'm always interested in meeting new people with the same passions for art as I have, so please don't be shy in contacting me.
Cheers Joa
* My eBay Listings* My ACEO Website***THE WEATHER IN MY CORNER OF THE WORLD***
I've added a small album of images from the area around where I live. Most of the photos are from places called 'Byron Bay' - 'Wategoes Beach' - ' The Pass' - ' The Lookout' they are all on the Northern Rivers NSW Australia.
I also wanted to share with everyone some photos my son and his little family took while visiting the AUSTRALIA ZOO. I'm sure most people will know it as the zoo that Steve Irwin established on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. I hope you enjoy!
ACEO cards are what take up all of my spare time when I'm not at work. They are so challenging and exciting to paint. I can't see myself ever giving them up!
********** MY LATEST PAINTINGS ON EBAY **********
Art is a passion of mine, actually it's probably the biggest part of what defines me as Joa. I've drawn everything and anything for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until a few years ago that I took a few lessons to see if I had any real talent for painting. I had never expected portraits to be the my main love of subject as when I first started painting with oils, I was determined to paint the 'best' Australian landscape ever painted....lol....well that didn't happen. Even now, I struggle compossing a truely beautiful landscape.
However, when it comes to portraits, I just LOVE the challenge!!
* If you are not sure of what an ACEO card is, it's a new and exciting way of painting and collecting beautiful art.
* An ACEO card MUST be 2.5ins x 3.5ins! The cards were 'born' on eBay and have become one of the most popular ways for people to have a collection of original art work, at an affordable price!
Another reason I smile everyday, is from the love, friendship and companionship I get from my gorgeous little mate 'TIGER'. He's a pure bred Himalayan cat 4 1/2 years old. Right from the start I knew I had picked a very special kitten. He's such a clown!!! I could have had the worst day at work but the moment I get home and find him waiting just behind the door when I open it, makes it all worth while! He always greets me with loudest purr I've ever heard.
He does some of the funniest things!
* He LOVES playing fetch with his favorite thing 'a nectarine seed'.
* He LOVES playing 'hide and seek'.
* He LOVES to run up the fly screen door (and being a 7.5kg cat the screen has seen better times) then does his tight-rope stance on top of the wooden front door. Of course he stays there meowing for me to come and rescue him....lol
* He LOVES to go for a walk on his lead in our back yard.
Oh and his favorite thing he LOVES to do is to play 'GOTYA' by springing out at me from any hiding spot, when I least expect it! (my poor old well scratched ankles show signs of those encounters....lol)
It doesn't matter to me what he does, I just LOVE HIM!!!!!!
I've added some of my favorite photos I've taken of him, he's my little mate!!!
I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, Two and a half Men, The 7's Show, Scrubs, Golden Girls, Married with Children, Frasier, Will and Grace, The Nanny, Roseanne, The Office, Malcolm in the Middle, 3rd Rock from the Sun, ....I think you get the idea!
