Ripples

"Ripples"
18" x 24"
Oil on wrapped canvas

The brushwork in a section of one of my last paintings reminded me of ripples on a dark pond. There are concrete ponds at the Botanic Gardens, painted that way to reflect the sky and vegetation surrounding them. 

I didn't refer to any of my dark pond photos to paint this. I drew from within, allowing nothing but feeling to dictate where the brush would go and what color would be on it. The background is purple blue and green.
