The Light of Appreciation for All that Lives

This is the new 16" x 20 I just finished.  I've also included a photo of the 30" x 40" painting I started yesterday...it looks pretty rough right now!  I'm trying a little different process, I'm doing a very thin wash to start with in order to get the colors set and figured out, then my plan is to do several more thin layers over that, with each layer drying in between...I'll see how it goes, I just want to try and work in as many colors and as much contrast as I can.  Usually I do paintings almost "alla prima", so this will be a little different for sure.
