Wish there were a simple “like” button. Nice work, especially appealing to me is the first one.

Thanks Bart. The first is acrylics (both heavy body and open) and the second is oils. I am going to work with both this year. I know that you paint in acrylics. I am liking the ability to paint over dry acrylic layers in the same painting session. Gary

Yes, but I also paint in other water based or dry media: Ceracolors, pastel, ink, pencil, watercolor. Because I work outdoors, things change quickly and conditions are not ideal, I do prefer media that dry quickly and allow glazing or painting over, plus acrylics can be made to dry slower or to blend well anyway.

I have tried oil en plein air and otherwise. I’ve never really taken to oil media, partly because of that drying time struggle, which is particularly difficult in the outdoors. But truth be told, some of my painting group do oils out there consistently and do a great job of it. They may touch up later at home.

esp love the second one

Looking good Gary. Good handling of high chroma and fine brushwork as usual.
I haven’t been out yet, between wet cold weather and homeowners maintenance woes:music: no excuses though….

Beautiful, I like both. Nice light and textures.

Beautiful pieces! I especially like the second one. I find it very appealing.

Three bathrooms! We’re in the middle of remodeling one and that’s driving me crazy.

Bartc, a like button is on my wishlist too.

Quite lovely stuff!! I am a newbie and would love to be painting as nicely as you do one day…:thumbsup:
