Paint Party Friday - Boats

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! I'm calling this acrylic ACEO I did  'Boats' (what else?)  I did the water with silver paint and the skies are charcoal.  I saw a beautiful full  moon a few weeks ago and decided to add that in!

Please stop by the other participants and join in the fun!

Acrylic dries quickly, doesn't it. Some people prefer oil, which takes longer to dry. My brother was an artist and art teacher, who liked to paint with acrylic.

What a lovely, simple image. It's great to work with a limited palette sometimes, it really makes you focus on the shapes and the composition.
