This painting is my first done during a workshop by Betsy Dillard Stroud. It is acrylic paint on paper. The lineolum stamp used in this work was carved during class. The soft linoleum is very easy to carve. This was my first time to use stamping in a painting and I liked the effect in this one.
[I added one small stamped section to the painting in the lower left after the original post. I think it improved the design.]

I was going to say that I really like the effect of the "stamp" too. :) Does the "acrylic" portion of acrylic on paper refer to the linoleum?
Oh...nevermind. Acrylic paints versus oil or water, right? Sue me. I'm a noob. :)
I do enjoy this one, though.

Thanks Lori!
No, you are exactly right. The painting was done with acrylic paint rather than oils or watercolor. The stamped part is acrylic paint too, just painted on the carved linoleum, then pressed onto the painting to leave the painted impression.
I'll have to post a photo of the stamp itself.
