Experimentation

I have been playing with a different approach to painting, using a brush and more medium than I usually do, with a smoother application and a few more lost edges.

Here are some pics of the stages, plus a couple of details, to give an idea of what it looks like.  The one on the left is an early stage, with some of the "drawing" still showing.  I'd intended to add palette knife paint, but was too charmed by what was happening.

The final product, "Allegro," (14x11 oil on canvas) pleases me very much. Let me know what you think.
