Steve's Paintings........

Steve has been working with acrylics lately, we have been using acrylics in our classes and he finds them much more location friendly when sitting at a table painting in the local wine shop.

As always, he is keeping up his 100 paintings in 100 days or is it 200 in 200 days?...:-)
