This extreme closeup of a poppy is in the tradition of huge floral paintings for which Georgia O'Keefe was famous. I painted this on a cradled panel with the painting extending around to the edges. In spite of it's small size, (12 x 6 inches) it packs a lot of bang for the buck. If you have a spot that needs a little color, this will do the job.

Hi, Carol...I just "re found" your blog...so happy that I did! Spent awhile looking at your great work. Especially love the highly textured pieces.
If I may ask, what kind of acrylic gel medium do you use?
Hi Dean,
I use Liquitex Flexible Modeling Paste on canvas, and Liquitex Modeling Paste on panels or boards (nonflexible surfaces).
BUT, I've found a product at Home Depot which is much less expensive than what you get in an art supply store. It is Elastomeric's Custom Patch. A 32 oz container is only about $8 versus $23 for the Liquitex. I've only started using this stuff, but it seems to behave in the same way as the more expensive art compound.
