Acrylic Daffodil Painting on Paper (mounted on a wood support)














This is also acrylic done in the same manner as I would glaze my watercolors. It is 8x10" and mounted on a gallery wood support.

Echinacea Pink Cone Flowers Acrylic Painting on Paper















This was my next Acrylic on paper, I love the way the acrylics stay so bold and vibrant. This one is also mounted on a wood support.

Watercolor versus Acrylic - Clematis Painting done in Watercolor

This is the same clematis as in the Acrylic, I actually painted this one first in watercolor and then tried the acrylic version (see post before this one) There are things I really like about both versions, but I really like the fact that with the acrylic I do not have to worry about framing behind glass.

Acrylic Clematis Painting on Paper - Mounted on gallery wood support



This is my first attempt to use acrylics like watercolor, I love the depth you can achieve. Being a glazer it is nice to have each layer to be permanent. I have done some more and will post them soon. Over all I am really like the effects I can achieve with the acrylics.

White Peony Watercolor Painting - Update 5














I am still working on my peony, not as often as I would like. It is still not close to being done, hopefully I will be able to give it more of my attention. I have also been busy experimenting with acrylic and paper, also mounting and varnishing watercolor and acrylic used as watercolor. I will post some of my pieces hopefully tomorrow when I get a chance. I am also busy painting for a solo show in the spring of 2012. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog I appreciate it, I also welcome comments and suggestions. Have a great night everyone
