I'm not usually a fan of acrylics -- don't use them myself -- but this is wonderful! You do the medium proud. Its warm, textural, and vibrant ; everything that acrylics usually lack. I look forward to more from you.
It's amazing how modern this looks, while it still evokes the ancient wall paintings of France. The most sophisticated art achieves child-like simplicity.
I like this one a lot. I study arthistory at the moment. Earliest art is the most intresting for me:) It looks like someone long long time ago painted it on stone. You are most talented
Thanks for visiting me, Annette, and your nice comments. I'm partial to cave paintings too, so was immediately drawn to yours. I particularly like you background treatent. Many people don't realize how difficult it is to get that just right. One interesting item I see is the human face, which I've never seen in a cave painting. What is the thought behind that?
What a wonderful and creative concept annette!! I gravitate to primitive art and see the etchings on trees as cave paintings, early man's means of communication. This looks like Lascaux cave paintings given the primordial feel of your beautiful graphics.
You've created the feeling of a cave painting on stone. Had you not disclosed this was a painting it could be a photograph from the real thing. That's how good the effect came out.
