  2. Didn't you just start this a couple of days ago? I'd call that pretty quick myself. Of course, I guess drying time with acrylic is a little shorter, so maybe that's just a relative thing. Worth waiting for it though!

  3. Thanks for the kind words Teri!

    Mojo, I did just start this last Friday and didn't work on it any more until yesterday when I finished it. Acrylic drying time is really fast. Thanks!

  4. Very Very nice work. So glad to see you painting. I love the fact that acrylics dry faster, but I sure love the rich colors of Oils and the fact I can move the paint around awhile longer then the acrylics. I am thinking of starting my paintings with acrylics and then going to oils for the rest of the painting. might move it along faster. I love to watch Jerry Yarnell on PBS. Hes been doing that.

    I read number 12 a second time so I could absorb it all. Then I chuckled - but no offense meant!
    I really like your painting. The rays from the clouds always make me think of my loved ones reaching down to say hello.

  7. My Goodness! Are you confused, or just trying to get a well rounded religious experience? Not that there's anything wrong with that, (to quote Jerry Seinfeld).
    You have some very interesting facts.
    I like your painting. You did get this done pretty fast.
