Shelling Peas 5 X 7

Ebay sales are a great way to market my original artwork, books and miscellaneous items for spare cash. As a retiree, living with my mother and my sister I'm enjoying the warm weather and Florida location. Lots of thrifts and flea markets are providing sources for books and the beautiful Gulf Coast inspiration for paintings.
Under the second ID of itsybitsypieces, I sell art trading cards or ACEOS. Larger oil paintings of various subjects are also available.
I sold my retail bookstore before moving to Florida, but continue to deal in used books. Before becoming a bookseller, I was managing editor of a weekly newspaper.
All ACEO cards measure 2.5 X 3.5inches, are titled, numbered, dated and signed on the back, and painted on 140#, acid free watercolor paper. They are original creations, not prints, nor will prints be made from it.
ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) are affordable, highly collectible, and tradeable. These miniature paintings may be displayed in any trading card notebook or framed singly or in groups, and make excellent all-occasion gifts. I've been painting in oil on canvas since 1981, had several one-woman shows and have paintings in collections all over the US. I began painting ACEOs in October of 2006, and love the challenge of the small format and using different media.
