Now, my varnishing question got several replies, both here and on facebook, and the winner is......retouch varnish! I have run to my art supply store to grab a can and now feel much more confident in my technique. So, thank you all very much for your replies!

WILDFLOWERS, ACRYLIC, 20X24, SOLD
This is definitely not my usual painting! A few years ago, I took a month long workshop with Fritz VanEeden. Fritz is a very well known and respected artist from Holland who has been living in our town at least part of the year. I was fortunate enough to work with him for over a month, 3 days a week, for 4-5 hours. Fritz is obsessed, and if he is awake, he must have a paintbrush in his hand! He is also a wonderful man. I do enjoy this type of painting, but I just couldn't get the hang of painting out of my head. So this is my one and only true abstract!

This is whimsical, playful, vibrant and probably a lot like you in that it's beautiful and colorful! I think you should do more Carol. Thanks for posting that varnish question. I also learn so much from all the artists I admire.
What a fantastic painting! I do hope you do more of this type of abstract work Carol - it really is great.
Wow...what a great painting! So full of color and life! Makes one want to run and play in the fields and pick flowers.
Love this and the lotus painting. Beautiful.
Hello Carol, I went to greet. Congratulations on the wonderful work.
Ciao
Very nicely done love the bright colors.
