They are the exact opposite of acrylics...take SOOOO long to dry that in my cramped painting quarters, I feel that might be an accident waiting to happen (in the form of a very smudged painting, and/or a very ruined rug...ughhhh).Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508356583471560852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175671961578040068.post-597802941882039382010-01-27T12:38:32.253-05:002010-01-27T12:38:32.253-05:00I love the colors- I think the grain definitely ad...I love the colors- I think the grain definitely adds something to it. I'm sure its even better in person, unfortunately, the photos/(flash) can sometimes give false impressions.<br />I can imagine how hard it must be to do something that large in acrylic (as it dries so fast) would you consider oil?mariahttp://comcast.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175671961578040068.post-10442220275326537852010-01-26T12:55:31.627-05:002010-01-26T12:55:31.627-05:00thanks Valerie!

I can't help but beat myself up over my artistic mistakes. Lately I have been walking away from a piece just to return later with a fresh eye. The fresh eye is not as critical! The mistake is now an important peice of the art.jeaninenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175671961578040068.post-63216291319129371892010-01-26T10:27:17.286-05:002010-01-26T10:27:17.286-05:00I love the wood grain Monica and the scale of this...I love the wood grain Monica and the scale of this piece.
