This is one of my first few paintings done after starting off in 2008. The concept was from a book, where it is done in a few broad strokes, but I changed the colours, put in a view beyond the windows and resorted to a soft look as I just cannot slip-slop into a loose-brush style.

Flowers in acrylic impasto

This was done a long time ago in acrylics, using impasto gel for the flower petals. I’d just wanted to try it out since they dry fast unlike oils. But I ended up not liking the slight odour it had and the fact that it dries up on the palette too fast.
