Monthly Update for May

What have I been up to? For the last couple of months I have been working solely on ACEOs. Aceo stands for art, card, editions, originals. These are small paintings which must be 2.5 x 3.5. At first, it was difficult to imagine painting on such a small support, but now I like the small size.

What's in the Works:
I also am preparing digital pics of my art for prints. I need at least 18 pics. These prints will be small, aceo size, 2.5 x 3.5.

What's New:
Since last week, I have begun painting larger portraits again. This morning I worked on two sketches. I finished one painting based on one of these sketches. I named her Maya. I really like this image, so I will do a series of her. Visit my Gallery Juana.etsy.com shop to view Maya and more of my art.

I joined the Diary 2009 Project. The coordinator is looking for "365 artists and crafters around the world. It is free participation and free publicity for you. " Visit her site for more information.

Hi Chris. Good to see you again:)
Hi there! :)....I like the ACEO's! :)...I've been making a lot of them lately too :)....I really like working in a small format-- I work so slowly that when I work this small I can actually finish something! Yeah! :)...They are addicting, aren't they? (In a good way)!

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
