I just had this urge to paint with acrylics! Besides the fact that my little dog got into my mineral spirits last week and was one sick puppy (he's fine now, thank God!!), I needed to try something different--and it definitely felt very much that way!! I'm going to play with them. I like that the brush makes a mark that "holds", but, then again, I miss the mooshiness of the oil paint. We'll see what happens!

Jake is a great model. When I was in the class this last Friday, the warm up poses weren't the quickly-changing gestures I expected, but one very long--8 or 10 minutes, maybe--and very slow movement during which he went from bending at his waist to his arms stretched above his head, then out wide and back down. He held a scarf in his hands that was stretched taut between his arms the entire time. His body was twisting into different positions through all this and was full of a contained tension. Pretty cool!
