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.

Sunlit Rock

8" x 12" Oil on Linen
Once again, I am playing with contrast in this painting. I chose a more blustery day as my background to enhance the strength of the warm sunlit rock. I may add a few birds in flight, working the shoreline to add a sense of life and energy to the scene.
