Very nice katkerri, as always! How long does it take you to do a painting? What do you use, if anything, to keep acrylic from drying too quickly?
Sorry for the questions, but I really enjoy your work.

Greenhalomagica,
Thankyou for liking my work!
Each painting takes me six weeks+ or - depending on size......I am so slowwwwww and, i use hundreds of glazes to try and achieve that intensity in the vegetable paintings.
I do not use anything to keep the paint from drying too quickly, although some folks like to use a product for that.
Oil paints are slower dryers.

Well, your work certainly pays off. I have a terrible time with acrylic drying too fast. My paints dry so fast that I cannot keep up. Keep on painting!
