Whew! Once I started painting I found it went easier than I thought (I was a little nervous) and finished the painting in one sitting. I have a pic of the under painting that's been sitting on my wall for about a year. This was fun, and a nice break from printmaking. I love the way that paint moves and try to paint instinctively, leaving the strokes where they happen. At a certain point I said- "That's it, done!" Now to submit to the RRCA. I like it, for me it has a wetlands feel.
I might switch up in a few months, there is a Traditional Realism show at the RRCA in September I think. I did buy a canvas. I just don't know if I'm too far gone in "expressionist" work. Will see.....
