More greatness!! you are one that I enjoy to see your art. I made moves into surrealism, and realistic art as in landscapes. A lot I did to begin my testing for what I could do. How far could I go. I found artists from my art history courses in college that I admired and some like Maxfield Parrish from the early 1900's that the technique was a challenge. My most difficult was doing transparent layering of color one over the other in acrylics which dry so fast, but that is what drew me to acrylics in the first place is the quickness and prior planning. I felt as though oils were too slow. My mother painted in oils. I LOVED the smell of the lindseed oil and turpentine or what ever she used. I loved to watch her paint. I have a lot of her later works, but I am afraid to share them for we (my parents and I) are estranged due to rifts in the family. But, I do have some of her photos of her paintings that I helped her to change over to acrylics 20 years ago. She did pretty good too.
