OK, finally I have dirty brushes!

Just in time - friends were threatening to do an intervention to save my art show project. 

This is "Cariboo Esker" 24x48" in acrylic (so far) on a recycled canvas.
I am mostly using palette knives and fairly thick acrylic. I have horizontal lines at 5, 8, 7 and 4 inches from the top to show sky, land, shoreline reflection, and sky reflection.  I am having fun with the palette knives and fast drying paint. At 33C. and negative humidity outside, it is extremely fast drying today even though I am in an air conditioned studio.

On hold until I get back to them:
- "Monarch Migration"
   - Glaze over the whole  with a cool toned veil again to distance the landscape.
   - When dry, paint the monarch butterflies in bright sharp oranges and blacks.
- "Milking Heidi"
   - Correct the shading to make Heidi look skinny like a milk cow with new calf.
   - Improve the milkman but not worry about whether he looks like my brother-in-law.
- several supports that need gesso or sanding to be ready for their turn in the studio.

Well, that went faster than I expected. A little clumsy on the animals, but I have to save some work for tomorrow. 
I will switch to oils to finish it - that fast drying paint is stressful.
