We are back to acrylic painting this week, after a weeks-long diversion due to MG.  Because of the oppressive heat and my severe dislike of it I chose to do a “wish” painting. I painted a winter scene…one that attempts to mix nature with industry, and offers up enough snow to make me forget for a while that it’s hot enough to melt titanium outside.

This was done with acrylic paint on thick illustration board using cheap brushes (and some dental brushpicks for the fine details on the transmission towers). It’s a bit of imaginary realism, whatever that means.

I was happy enough with it to use it here, so I hope it helps cool you down too.
