I decided to paint a wave using acrylic this time.  I have so much acrylic paint that I have collected over the years, so I might as well use it.  I also had this large canvas in my stash of art supplies.  It feels good to use some of the supplies that I have around here.  I probably have enough to last me several lifetimes.  That just means that I need to paint a lot more.

This didn't start out being a wave, but it seems to have morphed into a suggestion of one.  I chose a  paper with a surface I had previously textured using thick and thin gesso over a painting that I didn't like.  I really hate wasting paper!  ; )  Since I didn't like the colors that were peeking through, I began layering colors and playing with creating texture and this is what it became. 

It's been pretty hot here this week so I guess this is my unconscious attempt to cool things down a bit.   

I love the texture in this painting and the feeling of movement that it creates.  All of the layers don't show in this photo, but up close the layers make this painting very interesting.
