About a year ago, I did a painting called Red Roof that featured a house at the top of the painting, but the lower two thirds of the painting was free form impasto slashes of paint.
http://carolnelsonfineart.blogspot.com/2007/05/red-roof-16x20-oil.html. I wanted to try doing another painting with a similar approach.
This time I wanted to try it in acrylic because I have a show coming up next weekend (http://www.downtowndenverartfestival.com/), and it would never be dry in time if I did it in oil. That's one advantage of acrylics over oils, which take forever to dry, especially if you lay the paint in thick impasto fashion.
I like how this one turned out. If you squint you eyes, you can see the similarity in composition between this painting and some of my abstracts. This painting is on 30x24 Signature gallery wrap canvas and requires no framing.

Fantastic painting!!!
I was so happy to see this amazing acrylic painting as I have abandoned oils right now (having too many problems that I need help with ... wet on wet etc.). My husband does acrylics so I'm going to swallow my pride & learn what I can from him. I've been doing calligraphy for 22 years & am phasing out of it to paint. I sold 4 painting immediately (1 acrylic & 3 oils) but realize I need to work on the basics for a while. In calligraphy there are no mistakes allowed where painting gives me more freedom. Thanks for the great inspirations!!!

Thanks, everyone. It's always encouraging to get positive comments.
I'm known for vibrant color, and I was a teensie bit worried I had gone overboard with the color on this one.

I really like this one, it kind of looks like your looking
into a bright ground underneath then the house, nice
concept, I am an artist in New york, 1/4 mile from the beach

in the winter but too cold.
