I couldn't stand the smell of mineral spirits anymore, so I switched to acrylics. Thank you, Ramiro. I couldn’t stand the smell of mineral spirits anymore, so I switched to acrylics.

I prefer acrylic, although the finished piece is never as good. Acrylics don't have the depth and warmth of an oil I don't think.There's just something about the connection between oil and canvas I probably need more practice with them. Loving the blue background too. It makes for a stunning contrast. Pat on the back for you my dear. Beautiful!!I love painting myself but don’t get on with oils very well.
