Sister blog - Boston Baked Beads!

ACEO Market now has a sister blog - http://www.bostonbakedbeads.blogspot.com featuring beautiful hand painted porcelain beads and the Bead of the Month Club!

I just love to paint, and it has spread to my bead addiction.

Been busy in the studio

Thanks for all the great comments! I love to hear from my readers. Please feel free to comment or send me a message anytime.

I've been busy painting big and small paintings to get ready for the upcoming art show season! I've been juried into some shows: The Heirloom Artisan Expo in Taunton MA in April, and the Art in the Park festival in Worcester MA in June. I'll list their links down at the end of this post. Check it out, and come see me in person. In fact, print out this page and get $2 off any ACEO at either show.

In the paintings and ACEOs, I've been combining the triangulated style with my more colorful swirly abstracts. What do you think? My style is definitely identifiable, yet ever evolving.

Shards of Remembrance series

Here is a new ACEO I painted this morning - she is painted in watercolor and ink and is called "She Sees You". I have done a series of triangulated faces and many more can be seen at www.lerayjessdesigns.com .

New work to show off! The first ACEO is my new marketing card - I leave it around in places for others to randomly find! Fly Southwest lately? Look in your SkyMall mag - finders keepers if you find the art! I do this all over town - the waiting rooms, the Y, and many other places. Let me know if you find one!

The second image is an art card/aceo in ink titled "Chrous" from my music-themed series. I have larger acrylic and watercolor paintings in this style too. Some can be seen and purchased on http://www.lerayjessdesigns.etsy.com/.

Also at the link above is my own coloring book, with hand drawn abstract designs in my own style. So fun!
