In The Studio: A 1 Hour Oil Sketch

I have been working on everything but painting lately you know the drill, taxes, putting together classes, workshops, family stuff and have just not been painting enough.  When that happens I try to just paint something to stay in touch with the brush.  I keep my concept simple and set a short time window, know that to ask for more will be frustrating and counter productive.  So in this little 9×12 oil all I was trying to achieve was keep the ground and background dark, and put rich light filled colors on top of the shapes with purposeful brush work.  I think I did that and it was a nice 1 hour painting session.
