I love the way you rendered the clouds. Is this oils?

I’d like to graduate to oils one of these days. I was a little nervous about doing the waves and the foam.
TY bif!

And played around with them a bit but gave up. I like the fact that acrylics dry fast. I'm a very impatient painter. I've been known to use a hair dryer on my paintings to speed things up!

a gorgeous painting! Thanks so much for showing me!

Hmmm, I know how we can post your work in Photography — I'll take a picture of your painting and post the image in the Photo Forum and state
that I saw this wonderful painting and just had to share it with everyone . . .
nah, never mind. I'd better leave well enough alone.

You're welcome for the documentary. Roberto was one of a kind.

Thanks again,

Allan
