By the Shore – Original Earthscape ACEO

Here’s my latest ACEO creation, inspired by my Earthscape series of Acrylic paintings. Earthscapes to me are like landscapes but only very up close. Typically I paint stones for my Earthscapes but they could be anything and I have done paintings of leaves before too.
