20" x 20"
acrylic on canvas
This painting happened after a day of going around the harbor, looking for the scene I wanted to paint.  Nothing seemed quite right.  After hours of this, I went back home and thought, "F-- it, I'll paint how I think it should look.  I'll paint how it feels."  I should tell you, that was a huge shift for my Virgo mind.  But anything would be better than more hours of not finding a spot. 
Well, I got out a bunch of paint and started laying it on thickly, with palette knives.  I didn't second guess anything.  For every color I put on, I just responded to it.  I turned it upside down and worked on it that way.  Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.  This is the painting.
