Tricks of the Trade

Finally, I finished this.
I know all the tricks of the trade. How not to become too enamored with your work. How not to accidently drink paint thinner instead of your tea.

it's some kind of release
creative
spontaneous abandon
opening/uncovering some well
of untapped energy
trying to focus it
decipher it
pick it apart
just let it be
so that it works for me
instead of against me

  2. Thank-you. It's acrylic. I love oils, but am very sensitive to solvents. I do enjoy the challenge of trying to get similar results with acrylic.
