Imaginary Landscape

Sometimes the best paintings develop when I am tired. When I am tired direct painting takes over. I become too impatient for contemplating which colors to use or fussing over which brush to use and simply paint.

Also, there is a freshness to this method of painting. Watercolors can become overworked but not with this approach.

If something catches my eye out in nature and I need to record the colors or image, this is the way I paint. This is basically a study. Regardless, there is much to be said for this way of painting. This is sort of a recording which can jog my memory at a future point in time.
