#38 "Big Wave" 9x12 oil




Aloha!!   So, what do you do when you're in -4 degree windchill back here in Indiana and everything is black and white? Decided to think color and warmth!!! This is another painting done from a photo I took at the Pipeline on the north shore of Oahu. Won't be long until we venture over there again in hopes of finding more big waves.

After seeing some paintings by my good friend Victoria Gillieron last week I was so impressed by how she painted so "loosely" on some of her landscapes. We talked about it for some time during the show. It reinforced what I've learned but seem to lose sight of. Not on this one... fast and loose, no "do overs"  this time. When the paint hit the canvas.... it stayed where it landed!!! This one was really fun.
