OK.  One oil and one acrylic....I'm sure you can tell the difference.  These weren't supposed to be the final paintings but time was running out for me as I'm getting ready for some extended painting and travel.  Stay tuned.

Painting is such fun.  I've given up trying to figure out what people like and now I just paint what appeals to me.  Predicting what catches my eye enough to paint is impossible.  I wouldn't have thought that either of these paintings would be things I'd do....but here they are.  It's the unpredictability that is part of the fun.

That's it.  End of the Contest.  I'll be compiling the names and drawing a winner in the next couple of days.  There will now be a Winner and Another Winner.....Two!  Can't wait....

  3. OK what if I can't tell which is oil and which is acrylic? I like both. The Bouy is more muted in color and strokes. Harbor Walk has more crispness in color and strokes - so maybe that one is acrylic??

  7. I can't tell which is acrylic or oil either......I like Harbor Walk best......especially the dappled light on the path. I painted near the water today too.....it is the most enjoyable thing to do.

    I won the painting last time and love it.....if you'd like to leave my name out of this drawing - I understand.
