An ACEO is 2.5″ x 3″ — artwork the size of sports trading cards — otherwise known as a miniature.  I personally love the challenge of painting something that small.

Have you ever done them or bought one?  I’d be interested to know!

    Yes–it’s really just an artistic way of honing in on the trading of sports cards. Although some people trade ACEOs, I believe they must be a rather rarified area. ACE inhibitors aren’t, 🙂 I am enjoying your pursuit of wild lupin!

    Television commercials have made me aware of ACE inhibitors but this is the first time I’ve come across any mention of ACEOs. I see that the category goes back only a couple of decades.

    YES! I am sure you will like it as much as I do, Sharon. Google ACEOs to see about how to trade/sell them!

    Wow, big impact on a small card, so lovely. I must give this size a try, again. Thanks for the inspiration Lance.
