Acrylic painting, Letting Go
Here is the finished painting from my study that I posted on January 24th. I'm pleased with the simple shapes and the drama factor of this one. I've been having so much fun painting in acrylics lately. I use Strathmore Aquarius paper for the large paintings and I paint on stretched canvases for the smaller ones. I use completely different procedures for the 2 of them. This painting was one of the first paintings that I liked after going through the dreaded "January artists' block". I'm having so much fun looking back through all the 30 minute studies that I've done over the last year and a half, and intend to do many paintings in the next few weeks, using the studies.
