These two paintings were originally painted a couple years ago, early in my acrylic painting 'career'. They have been propped up in my living room ever since, waiting for me to hang them. I was pretty happy with them when I painted them, but the longer I had them, the more convinced I became that I could improve them. So today I pull out the glazing liquid and some fluid acrylics and went to work adding some more highlights and enhancing the color with transparent glazes.

Here are the originals:
