Sunstreaked

"Sunstreaked" 15x22"

This piece is several years old, but I think it really shows

how I like to paint. I sometimes veer away from this drippy

negative painting style...but hopefully to always return to it.

This painting was started with random really loose and washy

"splotches" of yellow, just running a large brush over the paper

in several different places. While it was drying I dropped some

other pigment in a couple areas, like greens and blues..then had

to be patient for everything to dry completely. I sketched out my

design on that and developed the painting in gradual stages of

progressive washes, "carving" out the petals, stalks and leaves.
