Thousand Islands 2

Oil on canvas
16" x 20"


Original study
Oil on canvas
8" x 10"

This is a larger rework of an 8x10 study.  The original has a lot of energy in the brush strokes that I didn't want to lose.  The upside of painting from a study is that a lot of the "big decisions" have already been made.  The challenge is to reproduce something while keeping loose.  The results are never 100% predictable.  If I get it right the rework will take on a life of its own....
