   Today’s painting. Painted this following along a timelapse by an artist whose painting style I like a lot, Young John Larriva. Mine looks different and I have a lot to learn about applying very thick paint & wet on wet, but really working on establishing strong lights and darks. It’s not quite as I’d like it, & probably unfinished, but it was a satisfying learning experience so it’s a win today for #art.

   It’s very tiny. Only 4” square.
   Oil on wood board.
