Wet brushes is an exercise in encouraging natural ability, by setting a goal of creating a small study each day within approximately 30 minutes. The idea is not a new one, but it is my way of trying to get the brushes moving. Like physical exercise, jump-starting each day with painting activity can inspire you with creative energy. For me, it can remove the seriousness of starting a new painting and it allows me to get in touch with my natural abilities and the energy that comes from within.

Mountain Air

11" x 14" Oil on Canvas

This painting is a study in atmosphere and light. I simply wanted to push the contrast between the distant hills and the foreground trees.

At the same time, I was hoping to utilize the natural contrast of light against dark.
