And congratulations on getting into the exhibition, sounds like a prestigious one.<br /><br />Yes a big piece and different medium, but looks like it was no challenge for you. I have a love/hate relationship with acrylic and have more control with watercolour and oils usually. Its interesting to switch back and forth now and then, just to prove you can. :)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801228006912771852.post-22019332511238482312011-09-06T03:24:30.601-07:002011-09-06T03:24:30.601-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935575913367575498noreply@blogger.com
