finished (?) paintingI've been incredibly stretched lately with family ill health, exams and not feeling great myself :>( so sorry for my absence.
Today was the first day painting for ages. This is a Christmas present for my eldest daughter who has moved to a new home and decided to have 'white walls and lots of seascapes'. mmmm
This is based on sketches done in Cornwall, combining elements of several - and choosing the images for the colours - to match her rather gorgeous eau de nil/pale jade curtains 8>O !
Unusually for me it's entirely in acrylic. I started out in acrylic inks and then moved on to acrylic paint. At some point I may do some canvasses based on the details as I like their simplicity. I think I would have to use oils for those ...... or .... maybe not. I actually quite liked using these today, whereas I don't normally complete a painting in them because I get to a stage where I just need oils.
It was done with Liquitex acrylics and I really like their texture for the way I work. I also like the way the plastic caps don't get grunged up and refuse to go on again like many metal tubes :>)
I know Tina loves her acrylics and gets incredibly subtle veils of paint with them - how about you?

This is a beautiful peaceful painting. The colours are lovely and will work so well against white walls. Lucky girl!
I just love the colours in this one
I'd never know that you were using acrylics rather than oils.
thank you both :>)
No matter what the media, you are so comfortable. Looks wonderful. And I agree about the acrylic comment K made.
I'm so sorry things have not been going well, though I hope by now you've had amelioration on all fronts. Your daughter is very lucky to have you to supply her with fabulous art for her walls!
lucky girl indeed!
