Down Through It

9x12 | oil on canvas| once again, in order to learn I think it is important to change up the way we do things. because I have always been such a tight painter, it is important for me to learn to loosen up and the one way I have been able to accomplish this is by using a palette knife. this is my second try using the knife! The sky and the water were the only things that got touched with a brush on this painting. Certainly different for me :)
