It is a sunny day in Northern Michigan, so I decided to do a quick acrylic study of my friend’s garden statue. The daffodils are up; but my acrylics dried really too fast (even with a Stay-Wet palette). So, there were a few lumps in the paint in the end. But I love the garden statue, and enjoyed painting it.

Because the acrylics dry so fast, I may need to switch to oils next time; I had this same problem the other day when painting.
