I ...Hi Sheila--thanks for the visit to both blogs! I still plan to post at least some of the contemporary pieces here, and reference the other blog when I put up new stuff. I do think it's good that people can get a more in-depth overview this way.<br /><br />I'm like you--I love being able to continuously work, layering and scumbling, which is so easy to do with acrylic. But I also love the jewel-like richness and depth of oil. Never fully satisfied, are we?Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-22913532545829258272011-03-27T02:32:43.037-07:002011-03-27T02:32:43.037-07:00Don, just took a walk around your new blog.

We can view abstractions as snap shots of process but as you say, there is no end goal in the same way as the realist paintings. Many of these have intriguing veils of colour and tone balancing each other out in a kind of dance around the canvas. I think this one is acrylic right and not oil? Great paint handling anyway. I love the glazing and scumbling opportunities acrylic gives us.Sheila Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202418013915704272noreply@blogger.com
