I looked your paintngs and them refresh me the ideas when I was a little kid.. Let yo know them a so great... specially this painting. I really love how you got the special movements and design..and taked it with very brigth colors.... As you know I'm an autodidact painter... sometimes I'm feeling as alchemist... every time looking for new colors and forms..... I have some little acrylic ways secrets for how you can get strong colours and I hope it will give you some new ideas... At the end.. some great painter of my country time ago said to me. "paint is only 10% of our job to create new ways.. the main part is in searching is 90%" Well I think you know it... but I will able (if you want) get a talk about it... and share experiences. be Friends?
