Waves

Description

First time trying out acrylics other than paint-by-number. I was sitting in front of a high-powered fan (because it's freakishly hot and we have no air conditioning), so they seemed to be drying out in about 10 minutes. By the time I would realize I hadn't covered an area fully, the custom color I mixed would be completely dry on my palette. I've really been spoiled by oil paint's prolonged drying time and the resulting leeway in blending and touch-up work this allows. Add in that I was mixing colors in very poor light, and this painting was destined to turn out badly.
I know the waves look all wrong. I kept drawing a blank on what a painted wave looks like. Naturally I remembered a few hours after I'd finished painting.
Maybe I should just start claiming that bizarre lighting and odd colors are part of my style. . . I know! I'll just say it's abstract. That'll cover everything.

Acrylic on 8X10 canvas panel.
