Lucey Goosey Loosely

Close ups

Wendy hosted WDE at Wet canvas this week. She graciously supplied this image..

Like many other artists I know, I seem to be on an unending quest to learn how to paint loosely. To suggest the subject and eliminate all but the most essential details. Unfortunately knowing what you want to do and doing it can be two very different things. Anywho, here's my attempt.

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

  3. You're right Dean! This seems to be a universal quest! I don't know many artists who say "I want to learn to paint more tightly!"...In fact, that could have been you that said it! HA...Well done on the loose attempt! By the way...love your last piece as well!

  8. This is "T, double E, double R, double R, double I, double F, double I, double C-C-C..." (This quote is from the goose in the animated "Charlotte's Web" - which I had the opportunity to see about 100 times when my oldest son was a toddler.) I feel it describes your loosely painted goosey lucey quite well...

  10. Thank yo Saundra and Megha for those kind words.
    I wasn't too sure about posting this underdone goose, but I did anyway. This morning I looked at it and thought, "Oh no."
    I know what I was trying for but I fear it didn't come across. Ah well......
