I painted tonight. First I painted "He Touches Our Hearts", in watercolours. She is companion to "Reconciliation", which I painted last May while at TEC.
The sketch
Reconciliation - May 2005
He Touches Our Hearts
My other painting is of the dove, rising from the flames. I did this one in acrylics - trying them out for the first time, to see what they're like. I want to paint a specific picture for someone using them.
The Sketch
Burn this shell
that I may rise whole and new.
I like the acrylics, for the effects I can get with them. That fire would not be as good had I attempted to paint it in watercolour. But there are other effects I can only achieve in watercolour, and so I will continue to use them more than I do the acrylics.
