I didn't feel that I was in any way demeaning anyone whose desire is to experiment. If that's the way it came across I humbly apologize to any person or persons who took offense at my statements. I thought I was simply responding to people's responses regarding the points I was making. I had, perhaps erroneously, assumed that when people quote my statements they are looking to engage me in some sort of back-and-forth dialog. In the grand scheme of things, my opinions, regardless of their intrinsic magnificence and importance to me, are like minuscule tiny little grains of sands, and should be considered as such by all others.
Sharon if you, Dr. Frankenstein or anyone else for that matter, desires to experiment and are looking for my blessing, you have it. Go forth and experiment! May the spirit be with you all.
All I'm trying to say, and I absolutely guarantee that this will be the last time I'm saying it, is that there may be long term ramifications to your actions and these should be considered.
Regarding polyester, the powder blue polyester leisure suits from the early 1970's have not held up too well, at all. Note: I'm proud to say that I never wore one, opting for more traditional fabrics and styles instead!
As far as the viability of acrylics go, they have been used by artists for about 60 years, as well. Get back to me in another three hundred and maybe I'll consider a switch back. I had previously used acrylics when I first started painting, back in the day, and when I eventually switched to oils, I found them to be far more satisfying and much quicker to boot. Below I'm posting an example of my acrylic work from about 15 years ago when I was working as an illustrator.
As far as this thread is concerned, I feel my work here is done. Sancho Panchez and I have an appointment with a windmill down the block, and we're already way behind schedule.
Adios!
