Good old Revlon #714. I've only been wearing this shade of lipstick for a bazillion years. I gave up on nail polish a long time ago, it seemed pointless since my hands and fingernails are always covered with lovely, festive blobs of paint.
Yesterday I painted this setup in oil, and then decided it would be a fun exercise to see how it translated to acrylic, using much larger (and much cheaper) brushes than I use for oil. I thought the two paintings would be totally different, but was surprised to see they are fairly similar. The acrylic painting went very fast because I had the advantage of already "knowing" it. If it's not immediately obvious, the acrylic version has the slightly bluer background.
In any setup, there is often one thing that catches my eye and moves me to paint ... in this case it was that blue-green color spot reflecting up into the metallic paint tube.

This a wonderful post! I've always admired artists that can do both oil and acrylic and still get the same feel in the paintings. You are incredibly versatile in everything you do! Cool.
You handle acrylic paints like no other artist I know - my versions would not look the same if I did this! Great post!
Looking forward to your presentation in Rome Thursday night. Love your loose style and bold brush strokes.
Patti, you are without a doubt the artist that I would most want to take a class with. These two paintings are super fantastic. You are the greatest!!!!
Snappy and a great composition. That is one killer pink!
