It's NFAC time

It's NFAC time again, when artists on eBay do any sized art based on a theme (this month is Birds and Bees) and list it for 99¢.

I had help from Rattie and painted a bumble bee and a stuffed turkey and of course Rattie. I did this on a nice thick acrylic paper with a base of watercolor, then colored pencil and gouache. I am in the mood to try different things lately.

I also listed my ACEO from yesterdays post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nibblefest aka NFAC

This is my art for NFAC this month. In case you're not familiar with Nibblefest it is a themed monthly contest on eBay and starts the 20th of every month and auctions start at 99¢. This month the theme is Trees & Rivers.

Trees have never been my strong point artistically so I just concentrated on the trunk, based on a tree in my backyard, and added a few bits of swamp grass, a frog and of course the river and a rat.

The thing I like about NFAC and the ACEO theme week is that it get's me to do things I normally wouldn't do. I almost didn't do this theme due to the tree and it's just so freaking hot I could barely think but I am glad I made myself do something.

Hope you manage to stay cool today.

June NFAC

Yesterday, June 20, was the start of the NFAC (Nibblefest) contest on eBay. This month the theme is 'Things with Tails'. That is a good theme for me since I mostly do rats and cats and they both have tails. To add something a bit different though I choose to have my rat flying a kite, which also has a tail.

Little rattie looks happy to be out on a beautiful day, flying his kite, without a care in the world. To see more themed art search NFAC on eBay. All NFAC art starts at 99¢ and can be any size.

I will be listing more ACEOs tonight. I have one finished and will be working on more today.

Today marks the start of summer, although with the cooler temperatures and rain, you wouldn't guess it in my area. Since heat and humidity are the worst weather combo and a staple of summer life in NJ, I prefer this cooler weather even if it comes with rain.

Hope you are having a nice start to your summer.

Nibblefest starts tonight on eBay at 7:00pm eastern time. Search NFAC.

This will be one of my entries (I am hoping to get another one finished today), so tune in to see what the story is with Gumby, Pokey and a rat friend.

Thanks for stopping by.
