Sunset Stroll...






Here's a commission I'm finishing up this weekend. I still need to paint the figure in and work a little more on the background. I just really love the colors in this. I started it with a very colorful acrylic canvas. That way I didn't have to worry about any white peaking through.
 It's making me want to go to the beach, but that's nothing new. Thank goodness it's a sunny day here today...even though we desperately need rain here in California!

It's beautiful, Jennifer. Absolutely breathtaking, really.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a "colorful acrylic canvas." What a great idea.

Thank you Sheila! We've been getting a little rain here too and I hope it continues! :)

Hi Susan! Thanks so much for your visit and kind words! I actually paint the colorful acrylic canvas before I apply the oil paint. I just can't remember what that's called at the moment! I usually paint just one color but this time I painted an acrylic wash resembling a sunset. It actually looked pretty good for just being a quick wash but it gave a nice base to this. Jen:)
