Paint PartyFriday - Coneflower ACEO

I am showing a coneflower ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") for Paint Party Friday today.  I outlined the flower with a Pentel sketch pen, it has the feel of using a paintbrush.  It is coloured in with permanent markers and I used some acrylic paints to brighten the centre of the flower.

Rain's Thursday Art Date - what do you see ACEO

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date, thanks for hosting Rain! Her theme is 'what do you see'. I went literally with the theme and this is an eye, a brown one highlighted with purple eyeshadow. It is a small ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in permanent markers on cardstock.  The eye is slanted upward for an exotic look.

I imagine this eye sees hope, inspired by this quote from Martin Luther King:

"We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope" - Martin Luther King.
