Goodnight Sanibel

18 x 24 on heavy linen paper - Chroma Interactive Professional acrylics - done with big brushes - gusto - spontaneity in a painterly style.

I start the piece off with a rough sketch using watery paint - this allows me to keep my work loose and if need be - go outside the lines.  It is a "road map" to give me a general idea of where the piece is going.
