It's time to use what I learned at the Clayton Beck workshop. I took Clayton's workshop to improve on "being painterly". My younger years were spent doing a lot of drafting. My preferred way to paint emphasizes exactness and I love that, but I've wanted to get more freedom in my painting. I feel as though I'm getting there with this painting. Clayton said to paint with the biggest brush possible to do a task. This small painting, less than one square foot, has been done so far with really big brushes. It is very close to being finished. It will be for sale in the fall at a big show in Houston. I'll let everyone know where, when, how much when the time arrives. Comments?
Let's get "Painterly"!
