I love working in oil, but I often have to stop and wait for it to dry and feel like I'm losing my momentum. So, thought I would give acrylic a try. I feel a bit like a traitor somehow. Maybe I should read the book Rethinking Acrylics. <br /><br />Have fun experimenting and keep us posted!Liahttp://kickitupanotch.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-61329072111008800322010-02-23T20:44:59.122-08:002010-02-23T20:44:59.122-08:00Aren't you smart to be collaging on the yupo. ...Aren't you smart to be collaging on the yupo.

I have been scrolling down your blog and seeing your new works and can't believe I have been gone for so long. Your work is beautiful, along with your poems and the poems that have inspired you. I especially love the piece in reds, the cut and scratches surfaces of the roses, the stitching. Sending blessings to you.

I believe he has a DVD out, too. It sounds intriguing and, as Margaret says, if you're open to loss of control, go for it. I must check it out.
