A new direction

In rediscovering my acrylics I have started this series that seems to be endless and really a lot of fun. Many more in the works and on the way. 6x9 on heavy 140lb watercolor paper.

A little thing called love

I do love weepy emotional everything , but this song says a lot to me. Ups and downs of living have made me a sap. And no more shall we part is the song and i sat down and painted this , again i used acrylic and it was really smooth transition from idea to board. Unfortunately I have been not wanting to get back to my oil paints so i have a pile of unfinished oils that need a lot of work. Laziness perhaps. Here is my new piece acrylic on masonite 11x12

The Blue Squared series

I was asked to paint a few works for submission to a show themed Blue Squared. I picked up my acrylics after not having used them since i was 17. I was pretty happy how comfprtable it felt since i have been pretty loyal to my oil paints for so long now. And i gotta say , what a nice break from wearing latex gloves and a mask ( I am very sensitive to the chemicals involved in oil painting)
It was fun... different.

here is my Little Blue Bunny 5x5 in acrylic.



My monochromatic swimmers called Synch or Swim acrylic on canvas 10x10
