Pin-spiration

I saw this pin on Pinterest and was really inspired to paint using it as inspiration.

I cracked myself up trying to blend already dry acrylics and gouache. I am really accustomed to oils at this point and find myself forgetting about my paints which is OK with oils but not acrylics.
It was a fun and quick painting to make.
My result is far more literal than I usually end up with but I am kind of liking it.

Kerry! I love it! I have no idea what you mean about mixing oil and gouache ... so just do what it is you do and I'll sit back and enjoy!! xo
