Well, I for one, like this. After your experience (with my abundantly odd commenting; both deleted and undeleted), you may not think I'm picky, but I am!
Acrylic so much easier to deal with, but watercolor more satisfying...
And happy to see you're still at it. Selfishly, would hate to see someone with your talent disappear...
(Don't know what "OSB" is?)
Thanks, WS! I don't know if acrylic is easier to deal with. It dries so quickly, is slippery and looks like plastic when it's dry (because, well, it is...) What do you like about it? It does clean up easier than oil and not so smelly...
OSB is oriented strand board - "a type of engineered lumber similar to particle board, formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood strands (flakes) in specific orientations." That's WIKI, not me... :)
Well, I'm no artist, so I'm probably talking about quick drying time and ability to easily clean up and paint over what ever was there before... (This I've done all in the past; been so long since I had a canvas and picked up a brush! Haven't had any requests to do so of late! [People used to commission me to come up with something creative, then go ahead and hang it somewhere where not as many eyes could see it -- like in the bathroom -- albeit a public one shared by many businesses! So I think they were humoring me...)
I like this one of yours for its abstraction... Much different than your normal style -- which is brilliant, BTW, and in my opinion you shouldn't change -- but what is life but for change?
