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.

Red Apples & Cobalt

9 x 12 - heavy linen paper - Chroma Interactive acrylics - done with thick paint and a painterly style.

First I sketch in a vase shape using wet juicy paint and a big brush

Next I throw in a background and some other color to the vase

I throw in an underpainting of the vase and the start of the apples

I now refine the vase and the apples using thick juicy paint and a big brush
