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

    Love the painting! The softness
    is gorgeous as is the negative space
    of the composition. Kudos.
