sketch

5"x7" oil

A quick study. I'm planning a large city scene, preferably in the rain. Possibly a nocturne. Haven't done a cityscape in awhile. This one felt good. Same approach as the coastal scene but a totally differnt feel. Feels abstract but recognizable. AAHHH, that is my goal! Create a tension then balance it.

When is a study enough? When it's 5'x7' ? Scary investment of materials, but, boy, this one would be SO cool!

Thanks Sam. I do go through the paint! Yes, even my bigger pieces are more or less studies or sketches. My style has no formula so each piece is a new "study".
