7"x7"

Oil on Cradled Masonite

This is another painting from my day out in the country last weekend. The sun was glistening off the stubble as the dark clouds were moving in. I am teaching on Wednesday mornings for a while so I actually painted this yesterday knowing I wouldn't be able to get to the studio today. It was one of those afternoons where nothing was going right and by the time I got to this painting I was in no mood to worry much about what came out! I just decided to use as thick a paint as I could get and try not to use little brushes much. In the years past, I have always painted quite thin--blending and blending so you'd never see a stroke and there would never be any texture on the surface. I've secretly wanted to see some juicy paint for awhile, I think!

These are shots from the class I am teaching. It's on using the color pencil. It's a great group of talented people. As you can see, they don't always have to work in the dark. . .
