brushwork

Today's post is a couple detail shots from a 20x20 inch oil interpretation of a very small, detailed pastel painting, "Twilight," 6x6 inches (shown below). The goal of my larger oil of the same scene was to give a minimum amount of detail information to the viewer with the focus on loose brushwork and a play of colors and textures in a higher key palette for a different time of day. You can see the finished painting, "Yellow Dawn," by clicking here.
