Acrylic was my medium long before watercolor painting, starting as a child, then as a teenager in art school and afterward as a young adult. But now in my mid-40s I can't even remember the last time I painted anything in acrylic.

That's about to change. This tiny little tree is the beginning of a new adventure. Stay tuned!
