It was a very good day - gorgeous, harmonious painting. I always think you get that feeling of belonging, Wayne, but sometimes you need to hear it from us. 🙂

A classic beauty. This will never go out of style.

Beautifully done! The knife strokes add so much texture and interest.

I still can’t believe how much your acrylics look like oils. The green of the pine tree and the gold of the grasses combat the darkness and lift the mood. Beautiful!

That’s a great composition - vertical and horizontal interest! The trees do like they’ve seen some weather in their years.

That's such a nice painting, Wayne; so much depth and atmosphere. Thanks so much for describing your palette too. I like how you use strips of paper to hold your acrylics. I've been using freezer paper over a sponge and it's ok but I will try your way. That's a very interesting way to store...

Your work is so unique and always thought provoking. I see the person as wearing what I call a Happy Mask. It's what you put on to appear normal when you need to but on the inside you are feeling quite the opposite, as the blue face in the figure shows. It's a great piece!

Mickey, Minnie and now Charlie Brown and Snoopy - Beautifully done, Jade!

You do such nice work, Anne. I like how your ink lines and colored washes bring out the best of the subjects.

A not-so-still still life! This is really something, Wayne; the flowers appear to become abstracted before our eyes. The background adds a lot of interest too!

Thanks Wayne. I’ll keep trying but darn these paints dry too fast and I can never go back for more of a certain color and spend too much time remixing. 🙄

Wow that’s so cool! I like the mosaic look and the way the pieces come together from a distance. How do you keep your piles of paint from drying up? I struggle with that and need to try something else.

Very nice and well worth the time it took!

So you’re kind of abstracting the light as well as the objects. I never thought about it that way before. I’ll be thinking about it now!

Those bold brush strokes and simplified forms create a striking floral!
