New Direction

Now that I've finished my 120 Paintings Project, I feel like going in a totally different direction. The Project was fun, but something new and different is now in order. So, I've decided to go more towards the Impressionist direction, concerning myself first and foremost with color, the juxtaposition of colors next to one another--color vibrancy and the effect it gives to the painting. I also want to experiment more with using a painting knife instead of just brushes. The knife seems more immediate and clean, easy to wipe and switch colors.





My first attempt--

18" x 24"
Oil on Canvas
