I love that painting, Mustafa. I'd like to own something like that one day. Do you know what that technique is called?

Your senryu touches my heart. Thank you.

Senryu poetry like this definitely appears at Mindful Poetry.

Susan,
stepping inhere to answer your question: that technique is called impasto.

Mustafa Demiri Apr 11, 2012, 11:38pm UTC

Thanks, Ladies.... I am so glad to find myself in the company of such brilliant people.

Ironically, my 15-y.o. son brought home two paintings today from school. He gave me one and guess what! It was (lightly) in the impasto style. :-) I'll try to take a photo...
