Recent PaintingsThe Art of Joel Fletcher

I took up painting again in 2010 after a long break. Since then, I have been creating new artworks with various concepts, designs, and color schemes. My medium of choice is the slow-drying OPEN acrylics by Golden. I like the blending characteristics and, particularly, the edge control possible with this revolutionary paint.
