Today one of the things I painted was an artist trading card or ACEO (art cards editions and originals). An art card is 3.5" x 2.5" . It was so small that I had a heck of a time taking pictures of it. The trouble was getting acurate color. I first tried to scan it but it picked up the texture of the canvas too much. Then I took a picture of it with my Canon 7.1 megapixal camera. I couldn't get a clear shot - it was blurry now matter what I tried. Even with the macro setting. And the color was off there too. So finally I took a picture of it with my LG cell phone and it got the color pretty good although a little lighter than it actually is, but by far the best picture. So I settled for that.
This little painting is called Mary Jane in Pink. I am going to do a series of Mary Jane ACEO's. It was fun to paint!

Hi Catherine, this is beautiful! I love your whimsical painterly style and I love how you stitched the edges on this. Unfortunately, I have the same problem with my 8 megapixel camera - and forget the scanner - mine now puts lines thru everything. I always tell people, if you like it on your monitor, you'll love it in person. Thanks for sharing your work! Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for your comment! I am seriously thinking of getting a higher resolution camera. I really like what you tell people about if they like it on the monitor. I will have to do that.
