Finally back in front of my easle........

Well it's been a while.....since i last i painted. It has taken  awhile for creativity to awaken here in this new location ~ being busy & all- trying to Make Bank & $urvive.

But these last few days I have had a chance to continue on "The  Painting"..an untitled piece as of yet. Been mulling around "A View Worth Protecting"..a humble nod towards the U.S. National Park Service.

Anyways...Sometimes PAINTING is UNPAINTING. I can't tell you how often I pull the paint OFF the canvas while creating a particular effect or look. 

Here i am creating a cloud spatter ~ by pulling off the oil paint that is still wet but set.  I am painting in layers. There was an under-painting underneath that will stay there as i do this.
(I am using turpentine and cotton swab and a small scrubby worn brush).
