Lazy Painting Days



28' X 22"
Dec 2013

I've had a lot more time to paint since I finished my semester at Utah State and am on Christmas break.   It's been nice to have time to read a lot of art books and just paint without too many deadlines or external pressures.  The bottom image is the most current.  Others suggested I try a horizon line as the waves were very busy.  I was inspired by Gauguin for the style and skin tones of the girl and am very pleased with the unique skin tones I was able to accomplish.  I've been painting from my references I took while in Hawaii.  This girl in particular was in the canoe show at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
