I call it a “foray” because acrylics are uncharted territory for me. I haven’t invested enough time in this much-touted medium to understand how to use it. There is huge frustration whenever I begin to apply acrylic paint to paper; the paint just sits there. It doesn’t go anywhere. Perhaps I am lazy, and a bit spoiled by watercolors which do a lot of the work for me.
Anyway, this pictured sample of my resolve to finally get acquainted with acrylic paint turned out to be a keeper. In fact, I liked the painting enough to have it professionally framed—something that has happened only once before. In that instance I had produced a piece too humungous for a ready-made frame.
The painting is called, “Prairie Dance”. I selected it for today’s entry because it reminds me that SPRING WILL COME!

Thank you, Patti! Color does help!
Very nice acrylic painting. I think acrylic goes on canvas easier. You did very well. Pretty colors!
Thank you, Diana. Yes, canvas is better!
