      (acrylic on canvas– Private Collection)

This is a painting of my three darling peeps (aka the grandchildren). I completely repainted, with different colours, the sky, the sea and them several times, trying to get it to feel right. That is, I suppose, one of the perks of acrylics that you definitely don’t get with watercolours! The original photo that Sunny took had a coppery looking sea and sky glow. Although I tried (and tried,) I couldn’t get it to translate to satisfaction, so I ended up changing the look altogether. I hope it works.

 Underground River

 (Acrylic on canvas – sold)

This is a place, in my actual dream world, that I have visited many times through the years. There is always a mysterious something about it, which is a little unnerving. Yet I am always delighted to find myself there in my dream, and I think to myself, “Oh,wow! I’m HERE again!” The approach to the place is never exactly the same,so I’m going along a path and suddenly I realize I am there and that an adventure awaits me. It’s like a cue to pay attention to what will be a very interesting dream. This painting is the first in what I am calling my Dreamscape Series. I am new to acrylics. You can tell too, as I use the paint here in much more of a sparing, watercolour manner, as I’m more accustomed to water colour. But…with every new medium and piece I learn a little more!
