Day 7 - Tug of War

8x10
Oil on Linen on Panel

Painted this today at the Thousand Oaks Community Gallery where I have my work featured this week.   I stayed sort of loose...started with a burnt umber values sketch and then put my dark and lights in..finding the drawing.  Something Patti Mollica talks about in a great post where she discusses two different approaches.  Check it out here
As you can see I'm pretty sloppy...lol.   I sometimes wonder if I even have a process?..it changes so much.   My husband did tell me that he now sees an identifiable style to my paintings...great compliment although it's not always the style I'm aiming for!
