This is one of those kind you have to look at from "away."  Up close it's just a jumble of swishy strokes, but oh, what a fun way to paint. So direct, so carefree. What do you think? Does it work?

Periwinkle Sky - NA

Periwinkle Sky
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
Revised on 1/4/2014.

Isn't "periwinkle" a terrific word to say? Neither blue nor lavender, but a combo, such a good color.
Another Wet Canvas Reference photo, which appealed for the colors.

Winter Stream in Turquoise - SOLD

Winter Stream in Turquoise
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $23 plus $7 shipping.

I had a strange day painting today. My "aim" was off. Or maybe it's the canvas, yeah, I'll blame it on the canvas, which has a tight, smooth weave that doesn't catch the brush. At any rate, after fumbling, and some wiping and scraping, I'm fairly happy with this one. The colors are great, aren't they?

For 2014, I've decided to join the Daily Paintworks folks, so very soon, my paintings will be showing up in their auctions, and hopefully, going for a little more than lately. I'll let you know.
