Awesome love the colors.

Artist Reply: Hi, Mildred! I bet I've know you and your beautiful art work longer than I have anybody here! I'm honored that you came to my site and commented. And I want reaffirm to one and all that I am the world’s greatest Computer Klutz! Finally I have been politely told how to find the place to write replies. (Thank you, Anneke! And thank you also for encouraging me to post some of my paintings here on this beautiful, talent-laden site!) Now I can spend the rest of tonight joyfully writing, mostly belated, grateful replies to all the wonderful artists on ArtWanted! Peace, etc., Bruce

I love it. How would you mount it?? what are the dimensions and what are the mediums you used?

Artist Reply: Glad to see you again, Olga. How I would mount it, and I think I intend to, is to just take it to a shop! Seriously, I don't do any such skillful work as that in any area of my life. When I try to fix the sink, the plumber costs us more afterward! As to medium, simply acrylic on old cardboard, which I got the idea of tearing as I meandered along, about half-way. I've been experimenting with various sorts of cardboard and their shapes, but especially incorporating the corrugations into the painting. -- Oops, I forgot about this: I was paintiing outside, and went in the house briefly, and when I came back this little twig had fallen on it. As I started to fish it out, suddenly this idea came to me: I walked around the painting some (I had left it on the ground to dry some) and could see that nature was trying to give me an idea, and I gathered up some more twigs and stuff and placed them as I though they would be effective with the blue water. Then I took it inside to dry and the next day repainted over them. I haven’t put stuff in my paintings much, but I want to experiment with it more. I think it would be a lot of fun. I really admire your paintings by the way, especially your very nifty collages with objects and just pieces of paintings of your own. I haven’t left you any comments yet, because I want to study them some more – and can’t write 200, which is what they deserve, at least. Clearly, besides a great knowledge and abilities to your it, you have a wonderful sense of humor! Thank you, Olga. And I want reaffirm to one and all that I am the world’s greatest Computer Klutz!
