Forest Lawn

This is the last painting from 2008. It started with a nice orange wash over a rough texture (paper towels), but as I added the browns, the towels soaked up the new layer of paint and spread wherever and however it wanted to. The texture remains, but most of the orange vanished. I got slap happy as I dashed on the green and then merrily dotted in the pink. Who knows if pink flowers grow in a dark forest. But here they do. I doubt I'll be using much umber or sienna for a while
