Painted across three narrow canvases this acrylic is a picture I have seen over the Internet several times and couldn't help trying to capture it.

Wild Grass & Daisies July 09

The wild flowers and grasses in the Fields where I take my dog Charlie for a walk are particularly attractive at the moment so I couldn't resist taking some photos and some samples back home to paint it wasn't until after I had painted this that I realised this is the first painting that is entirely my own composition, It's acrylic on canvas and I Hope to do more in this style

Glass again in acrylic on a black background

Tropical Seas

This one is Acrylic and I used the texture paste as shown to us at the workshop with Dee Cowell
I used it on the rocks tree trunks palm leaves and the waves not an over kill then! I like the effect but I think you have to be careful not to make it too thick and getting the hang of putting it on with the palette knife is tricky
