I went to a workshop by Phil Garret of Golden Acrylic...so NOW I am so into acrylics. This painting is way cooler in person and is my first acrylic with the golden products... belong to Lake Toxaway Art Guild. For me painting is a solitary experience and I create infinitely more authentically when I am alone BUT that being said...I need to have friends who are interested and committed to the same path so we can share and explore and learn and grow. And they are just downright good people who are fun to be with and I am so grateful for each of them. We have several workshops in the summer while I am in Lake Toxaway and we have a huge art show on the first Monday of every October---it will be fun again I am sure!
