Pics of my exhib - 4 images

Hi everyone. Someone asked me to post pics of my exhib that I set up on Wed. and which runs for a month.
These are all acrylic, and all except for the lady with the shawl, are done mostly with my fingers. Must have been deprived of finger play when I was a kid lol
Pics are not the sharpest unfortunately.

The title and the theme of the exhibition is "Elegance" and all canvases are 22 x 28 inches except the smaller one.

Posted here because this is where 'home' is
Thanks for looking, too late for critiques lol but feel free to comment

Lulu, they all look wonderful. I like seeing all these finger paintings together

I wish you the very, very best success with the exhibit. Hope to hear how the run goes! Best regards.

Hello Lulu! These are wonderful! No brushes? Do you use acrylics in a watercolor type technique? No matter your childhood deprivation, what beautiful work...

Re: Pics of my exhib - 4 images

Wow LULULU!!!! Super work - so colorful and though evoking. You could fit right in with the "Foothills Colourists!!!".

I feel the confluence of our artistic efforts in the flux of the force (Luke). Good luck and may your force be my force. And don't go to the dark side.....

Re: Pics of my exhib - 4 images

Thanks guys Joel, good luck with your exhib too!

Kevin, the lady with the shawl is done in acrylics with w/c effect, also four of them have 'runs' that I do by spritzing them with water.

This is another done loosely with a big brush in watercolour style - wish I'd kept it for the exhib but I weakened when someone wanted to buy it.

Lulu,

These are truly "elegant" paintings. Love the runs and the theme.

Best wishes for a very successful show.

Oh Wow oh Wow!!! Lulu, these look fantastic displayed together... And they are definitely Elegant!!! I haven't seen the one you sold... I love the drips on it... the ladies look as though they're wearing elegant scarves... Your control of this medium, even if it is ac***ics ( ), is masterful!
