Paint Out Loud...the story behind the art

It was a gloomy, rainy day...what I really wanted to do was nap.

Instead of napping I started going through some old photos.  You know how that is - you can get lost in those.  And I have lots of nice photos that I have taken in various places thinking I might paint them one day.  And this one image just called to me "hey, paint me!"

Maybe it was the colors that I needed on the gloomy day - the yellows and touch of orange - but I was hooked.  Just what I needed to get a little lift.

I decided this one would go with the other oil paintings in my small works:

I squeezed out lots of paint, pulled out my palette knives and laid in the areas.  Next I loaded up a knife and started pulling luscious paint across the panel.  And I got lost in it - and the image also allowed me to carve into the paint.  Look closely and you can see how thick the oil paint is in places - all the elements I needed to  brighten my gloomy day - gloomy no more.
