What a great face and painting... sad about that the subject :'(

Interesting about the coating.

Have you ever considered painting with outdoor paints? Five years ago I bought several enamels from Home Depot to paint some wooden whirligigs I'd made. The paint has the best luster I've found and since it holds up in the sun for years at a time it isn't likely to fade on fine art. I'm not sure if it can be used with trad painting methods, but works great with my dots.

@bowlingballout BBO, I remember you telling me about the outdoor paints that you use in your work. Very good idea.

I only coated these 2 mermaid paintings because I had collaged items onto the surface of them. Normally, I don't use the Polycrilic on acrylic paintings because they don't need it.

Thanks for watching and commenting and you and Gracie have a fantabulous holiday season! When do you venture north to visit CSM?

I can't stop looking at these paintings. When I opened the package last night I was mezmorized!  It is fun to see what all your friends have posted here. Deb, you have caught the essence of these two beautiful women & I am THRILLED. Wow, wow WOW! Can't wait to get home and look at them some more... The textures & detail are stellar. Did you not go nuts doing the eye lashes??? lol

Thank you so much & I have a feeling I'll be commissioning more in the near future. xox
