First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the kind comments, emails and all-around supportive advice.  You guys rule : )  Second, I’d like to offer a bit of an apology for freaking out a little.  It was late, I was trying to relax a bit and post some freakin’ art and then I get the “oh noes, boobies and penises are bad!” thing from Picasa and it just pissed me off.

     Aaaanyway, here’s what I was trying to post the other night (didn’t have to accept the terms of “service” this time for some reason)::

     As you can tell, I was working rather wet and laying the paint on thick and messy.  I thought to myself when I was done that this would take a while to dry so I let it sit for days but its wet appearance never really went away:   …and I’m still thinking, “Is it dry yet?” and that there’s moisture trapped under there.  Like if I just carefully used an xacto knife or a razor blade wet paint would start running out!  I guess this is just the nature of acrylic when you really glob it on.

     Thanks again for all the suggestions and advice.  I’ll be looking into all the possibilities.  Who knows?  Maybe I’ll find a much better place to call home than Blogger.
