Getting in "Trouble"

We had perfect beach days over Labor Day weekend
and people were soaking up every minute.

“Last Blast”
8 x 20 oil sketch

I couldn’t resist playing with this pose today.
(and I had an 8 x 20 board!)

At one point, I realized it
felt too “predictable”
so I took out the scrapers and
”messed it up”.

I’m trying to teach myself to
”get into a little trouble” in the studio.
I’m learning that it can lead to more
expressive, unexpected paintings.
And it’s more fun!
Scary but fun.
