Tropical Lane

 Returning to Elgin lane once again gave me an unexpected pleasurable experience. Without the pressures of having to produce that winning painting, I was able to relax and concentrate on the flow and rhythms that color expresses in the landscape.
Paintings can be sort of a diary, or a record of your painting experience.

I know I will miss Key West and this painting was about the warm sunny mornings I stood painting in that lane moving  the color around.

This painting was painted with a pallet knife
beginning to end. I feel very comfortable using the knife, most of my painting training is with the knife.
