acrylic painting

My mother had a bad opinion of acrylics, thinking they were cheap and inferior, akin to house paint. I can't say I disagree, but in this day and age, good painters sometimes actually use house paint in big paintings to achieve the look they want! I now like using acrylic paint. It IS cheap, therefore you don't have to use it sparingly. They come in so many pretty colors! You can paint the same canvas over and over until you get something you like. That is what happened here. I used an 11 x 14 canvas that already had an underpainting. I decided to try an ocean scene though I am not good with realistic subjects. After several attempts and layers, this is what I am calling finished. I am ok with it. Of course, the camera never gets the color exactly right.
