LAND AND SEA, oil on canvas, 36 x 48

And the final piece....




This painting has had many reworks. They are here in order, representing the last 12 hours it was worked on. By showing these different stages, I run the risk of someone liking a previous stage but I have to say I am most happy with the final product.

Well, I wanted to loosen up and I think I have. I wonder if you'd know what this was without the title. Not that it would matter. I want to like the juiciness of the paint, the movement, the brushwork. Still...my point that I wanted to make is that in order to loosen up a little, I think it will be easier to loosen up a lot and then ratchet back to a point I can be ok with.
This is a ramp leading down to the beach in Kiawah. It was sunset and January - the light and colors there are wonderful in the winter!
