My husband's office, the second bedroom, has become my new studio.  So far it seems to be working well. I even get to spend more time with my sweetheart. Bonus.

I wanted to paint a picture using a minimum number of strokes.  I see so many wonderful paintings on the web that look fresh and beautiful using this technique.  I tried.  It didn't work.  I had to go in with my small brushes and put in more detail.  I haven't giving up so stay tuned.

Here's my recent attempt.

"Young Robins"
6"x 6"
 Oil on 1.5" gallery wrapped linen.
$60.00 plus shipping

    If going in with the small brushes produces this kepp them to hand and look after them. I like it I have a pair of robins building in my back garden.

    Your painting looks great, Bonnie! But I understand (too well) what it's like to want to be loose but wind up painting details.
    Well done robins!
