Some photograph study in acrylics. Last of the things I did when I wasn't home. (In case it's hard to tell, the subject is a, which is a Japanese fountain).I hadn't dabbled with acrylic painting in years, so I was surprised about how well this one turned out - especially since the reference was so tiny (and thus, hard to "read"), and since I was under heavy doses of Lorazepam while painting.I wanted to add some small fairies flying by the fountain to add a fantasy vibe to it, but I feared it would ruin the image, so I kept it simple.
