For Dean

Rich is the Heart that finds Love
5" x 7-1/2"
acrylic on watercolor paper


This is my entry in Dean Haven's moleskine journal. We started our journal exchange about a year 1/2 ago, and I only have one more to receive before mine comes home full of beautiful artwork from twelve fellow painters around the globe. Very fun! I feel very lucky to have been able to participate.

This is gorgeous can't believe it's acrylics! Curious about how much you'd sell it for? :)

Thanks so much, Don. Appreciate your stopping in!

Hi, Erika. Lots of layers of acrylics. Unfortunately, this one is part of a journal exchange, so not for sale.

Hi Liz,
I thought I would just hop over from facebook and visit your new blog post to see this lovely rose close up!
The pink next to the turquoise is truly wonderful. I like the way the colours dance next to each other.
I am now following you here and I will add your blog to my creative site list.

All best wishes,
Jo.

Hi Liz,
i really don't like acrylic (plastic) i prefer wood and oils, but this one of yours came out really nicely. Take care,
Mariano

L.Holm said...

Hi, Mariano - I used to feel the same way, until I began working with acrylics again in the last few years. They have come a long way in color intensity, luminosity, and workability since they were first developed. I love the quick drying time, layering and glazing capability or capacity for thick application. I love all media, and sure don't rule this one out!
