Day's End (9"x12", oil)

This quick sketch is the result of cleaning my oil palette in preparation for our California trip. Oil paint doesn't last forever on a palette and unfortunately, my hand hasn't been cooperating with my plans. Today I painted through the pain. This image was meant to feel relaxed, like an evening after a hot lake day. Everything felt great as I painted...except my right hand, which complained bitterly. I can't get over how much of daily life involves my dominant hand! Amazing!

  1. Nice try, too bad about your hand. I have trouble with my wrist and really have to watch I don't strain it, so I feel your pain. Good luck with the trip and hope the hand improves. Enjoyed my visit to your blog.
