I have hardly had time to do anything but paint all last week and the weekend. I'm still working on my 3-30" x 30" acrylics on canvas for the Bass Concert Hall. The acrylics are pretty new to me, so this has been a real challenge. However, having the challenge has forced me to "put up or shut up", and I have learned to find my own way with the medium. If I hadn't pushed myself to do it, I would probably never worked with the acrylics enough to get proficient with them. I will post my results as soon as I have all 3 of them finished. I'm getting very close to completion, so watch for them here.
Okay, I will admit it here and now. I am pretty excited about these three pieces. They make my watercolors feel a bit quiet and safe. I'm certainly not ready to quit the watercolors. They have been my medium for over 30 years. It does feel good to have more tools in my box. I'm thinking this is going to break me out of some mighty deep ruts. And, that is a good thing.
