Yacht Bar Art, 5"x7" oil on hardboard

This painting was painted in Paintress Gretchen's Cleopatra Lounge in Vineyard Haven.  Though maybe not technically Yacht Aaht, it would be a perfect piece for the Yacht bar.

This painting was primed with a very matte acrylic paint. The paint handled very differently on this surface than it did on the very smooth ground on the panel in Mystery Meat and the gloss medium primed support in Open Heart.  I like the way all 3 handled.

My 1st painting with Golden Open Acrylics. They aren't like any other media I've used. Not like oils nor acrylics. I really like using them. I bought the modern set and it's a great set. I'm not usually a fan of sets but this set has 6 great single pigment colors, all with the best lightfastness rating. I was so happy with them I went out a bought the traditional set. I don't like the traditional set as much as the modern as 4 of the colors are mixtures 2 of which contain carbon black.
