By the way, ACEO stands for Art Card Editions Originals and are original miniature works of art of a standard size of 3,5 x 2,5 inches or approx. 8,9 x 6,35 cms of all mediums, which are widely collected nowadays.
Dorie Waters is a great person and an even greater artist. I think her kindness and lovely character shows in her art which is absolutely magical. Her art is so amazingly detailed and the colors she uses are vibrant. As she says herself, "she loves the challenge of a lot of detail in a little space"! Each image truly tells a story of its own. I strongly believe that if she illustrates children books she will become a legend of our times. Dorie was born in Vancouver, British Columbia where she still lives and she sells her art through her official site and E-Bay (her E-Bay seller ID is "dasha_smasha"). Her art is collected worldwide and she has given pleasure to a lot of people that were lucky enough to meet her on the web and purchase her art. I own a few original pieces of Dorie, ACEOs and bigger, and I will start with one, which as I said before has stolen my heart.
ACEO (3,5 x 2,5 inches) watercolor and watercolor inks
Title: The artist is a faery in a tree
The image and the text below are copyrighted to Dorie Waters
...the moon is golden and bright tonight...and a lantern casts another, closer light, as this little Faery sits in her favourite tree - with brushes and paint pots all around. She is painting the Magic of Faeryland ... a small bird is as curious as the man in the moon ... will she be in this creation?...Will you...?!!!
Another watercolor ACEO of Dorie I purchased recently is the one that follows, titled "The fairy's first flight".
Again both the image and the text that accompanies the ACEO painting are copyrighted to Dorie Waters
... her little wings not yet strong enough for flight, the little fae Adora is safe and snug in her blanket of stars, as her beautiful faery mother Ariel takes her on her very first tour over the hills and valleys, over the water and trees, and up among the stars in the magical skies of Faeryland!
Although the two photos are of low resolution, do you notice the beautiful details? And for sure her brilliant, intense colors, cannot escape anyone's attention. Dorie's art is indeed magical and I have a long way to go until I scan and upload all of her art that I own. I'm sure you can't wait for more!
