Here is my completed painting. It’s painted in acrylics, but I prefer oil paints, for their slower drying time. Mind you, I haven’t painted with oils for about ten years, so I might give oil painting a go, and find out for sure.

I’m taking art lessons again, and I started off drawing, now I’m doing a landscape painting in acrylics. It’s of weeping willows besides a river, very loosely based on a photo my husband took in Christchurch, New Zealand. I’m so happy I’m painting again. Now that my children are in school I’m able to spend a bit more time pursuing my creative goals.
I’d love to sell my paintings and drawings, so I’ve got to practice. It’s fun!
