Zangle Cove #18

6/20/10 "Zangle Cove #18", 5" x 7", Oil
This is a very small painting done on one of the days last week when the sun was out.  Sometimes it is cathartic to just take a big brush and make big marks--not change anything, not go over anything--just make the marks and let it be what it is.  I remember somebody saying that bold, even if inaccurate, is better than too careful and completely accurate (or something like that)--so that is what this is--the joy of a big brush stroke.

  2. I didn't realize someone had 'officially' said that. I assume it's someone who really knew their stuff : )

    This is just fabulous!
