Today I wanted to practice blending. The Golden Fluid acrylics dry so quickly that blending with them is out of the question unless lots of water is used which results in a thin film of paint. I managed to get hold of some Liquitex acrylics in our small town which I know have a longer 'wet' time (is that even a term?). Another new technique for me was using a roller.

Honored to be Interviewed by Pamela Blaies

Red Delicious

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I was honored to be interviewed by a fellow artist, who features a different artist every month on her blog. It is a very engaging blog with lots of art. You can check out the interview HERE.

Red Delicious was another foray into Pthalo Blue. It makes intense blues/aquas, perfect for this blue glass jar. What really inspired me in this composition was the napkin. I loved the light play of the folds and the cast shadow of the blue glass.

I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards.
