Wild Blue by California artist Brenda York

30x24" oil on canvas, available  

This is one of my newest pieces and a little different direction--just a little different. In a constant effort to loosen up I recently started playing with oil bars. You really can't be very exacting when you apply color with oil bars. They are like using those chunky crayons when you were a little kid with those teeny tiny hands. So you just have to get over yourself and cut loose. I like the messiness and the roughness they add to the linear parts of this painting. Coloring inside the lines definitely not advised!

If you are interested in this painting shoot me an email. It's brand new and not even up on my website yet.
