Acrylics are a favourite medium of mine after a tricky start. I had no idea how to use these fast drying paints as I had been using oil paints exclusively for years. In the early stages, I knew nothing about stay-wet palettes so I lost a lot of paint until I said to myself "Well I'll just have to paint faster won't I!' this resulted in very loose energetic works.
The little painting to the left is from the Finch Hatten series of cigar box sized paintings. I was inspired by the beautiful abstract shapes formed by the shadowy rocks and water. Finch Hatten is a rainforest area west of Mackay Qld.
