That’s an interesting way to do it, Bongo; thanks so much for explaining. I’ve heard of using black gesso but your spray paint is probably a better choice.

Christine, I love what you did with your tree! How cool to mix digital with traditional to get those wonderful fireworks effects! The reflections are beautiful! Terri, your happy little tree looks great and it’s so good to see your oil pastels in action again!

That dark sky makes me hope these guys are hurrying! As always, you use a limited amount of strong light to enhance the drama. I hope you’re keeping this one, Wayne!

I can see the classical bones of this one and I like the painterly look you gave it! That’s a great concept and a fun way to interpret older works.

Nice tree Wayne!

It’s good to hear how you guys do your cradled panels. I wonder if a thin layer of acrylic medium around the edges would help even if you paint the sides black. Would it fill any gaps and prevent the black paint from flowing over to the front of the panel?

Those reflections are so beautiful and they describe the water movement perfectly! Gorgeous painting Bethany!

Very nice - makes me want to be there! Do you have a favorite brand of paint?

Beautiful! Thanks for the tip about the brush. It’s so nice when a brush hold its point.

Nice boats - and I like how loose the background is too!

I thought this was worth sharing because I’ve seen cradled panels in galleries that don’t look so great from the side. This artist shows how to keep the sides looking neat.

Rooty perfection 🤣 Thanks Terri!

Nice! It will be interesting to see the layers you will add.

I appreciate your explanation too, Balaji. Wonderful sketch!

I think the power comes from the darks around the flowers. The illusion of petals in the white flower is incredible with those strokes of paint! You speak “floral” so well, Wayne.
