Your invented colors enhance this perfectly.

So beautiful!

I agree with Sno - the background adds a lot of interest. I like that she’s holding a head. Maybe she does sculpture and this is someone special.

They are some lucky goats and you made a great painting of them, Grapes! I like your loose brush strokes. You must have had to sketch them in quickly since they were eager to meet you.

A little shot might be good for you. This is so nice, Wayne, with the warm light bouncing all around. I don’t mind the glass and bottle being lined up.

I hope you’ll let us know if you find something that works. Doing collage uses so much of this stuff.

I didn’t know it was possible to make these mediums but there are tutorials on YouTube. I found this one for gloss medium that uses Elmer’s Glue and a water-based Minwax varnish: I have never tried this but it would be fun to experiment. Here’s one for matte medium that contains glue...

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!
