Hello and welcome to my art work! I am dedicating this picture to William Boyer...the Master and King of all finger painting!! He inspired me to "try" one and I'm finally getting up the nerve to post it!! LOL It's a little harder than it looks!! I wanted something small so I wouldn't "waste" a lot of paint but couldn't find anything. I finally found an old, rusty, 16 X 20 tray that I used. At least I can use it after the paint drys!:) I didn't use a whole lot of paint for my first attempt. The bottom picture shows the rim of the tray. Sooo...this is for you, William. Thank you for inspiring me to try something new! I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Hugs to those who will feel led to leave comments and/or feedback. I appreciate each and everyone! God Bless and have a wonderful week!!

How interesting and fun this looks! It's done with regular artist's acrylics?

Artist Reply: Hey, Linda...thanks so much for stopping by to visit my art work! :) Yes, I just squeezed paint from the tubes in different places and used my fingers to move it around. If I wanted a thin line, I used a palatte knife. Be sure to use gloves!! I used latex Dr. gloves...It was my first attempt and it was fun!! I'm going to do the other "rusty tray" to make a set. Happy painting and stop by again! :):)
