Boo Hoo

Boo Hoo Today I painted most of the day and then went shopping. I found something that I really like a lot. Usually I use Golden or Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics however at my local Hobby Lobby I found some paint that I like a lot. It is Masters Touch brand Grey Purple it has a peculiar smell but it thick and buttery. Love it. I also like Liquitex Basics Titanium White. Ok that's it ... My sharing for the day.  4x4 acrylic on canvas panel paypal available

Earth's Bounty

Image
Earth's Bounty There is just something about pumpkins, the cool air, the leaves as they drift gingerly to the earth. It really does put a spring in your step. It makes you just want to wait for a moment and smell the fresh air. Did I say that I love fall. I picked these three up at the local Wal-Mart this morning and after working 12 long hours in ICU last night I just had to stay up and paint them. I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out. I am always amazed that one day you paint and everything just flows and falls into place and other days you struggle. Today was a good day. 5x7 acrylic on canvas panel  paypal available

Learning The Hard Way

Learning The Hard Way I painted this for the challenge at DPW Go to their challenge to read more. 7x5 acrylic on canvas panel. This was more difficult than you would think. We were to plan the amount of brush strokes the painting would take and try to stick to that number.  I failed as I thought I could do it in 29 strokes but did it in about 34.
