Because the holidays are approaching, I thought I would post the painting I used for my Christmas card last year (2010). I did this in somewhat of a rush, but I was pleased with the effort. I paint something every year for my Christmas card, yet I always seem to wait until the last minute. I always seem to be working on a commission, and everything else needs to wait until I finish it. This year is no exception, I'm working on a commission right now, yet I'm worried about my Christmas card. Will I have time this year to get one done? I have an idea, now all I need is the time to paint it. Keep your fingers crossed, I really hope I'm able to pull it off.....
And yes, your eyes do not deceive you; this is a much looser style than my older works. This is the direction my work has been going in, a conscious effort on my part. You will see with my more recent works that I've abandoned too many hard edges. They are important, but like anything too much of a good thing is not good. I like to incorporate lost and found edges, and paint more loosely. Landscapes have helped me to achieve this I think.
