Loosely Speaking

I'm getting spoiled, painting first thing in the morning on vacation. Exercising at the gym?—not the same.

Today I painted on a canvas-texture artist panel for the first time in weeks. I like the surface.

Painting typically and enjoyably holds a measure of tension for me.  As it did today. That church steeple.

I painted it more loosely and gesturally than I would have a year ago. But still.

I wonder how others might paint looser renderings. I'm going to poke around on line.

The trees, the shrubs, the sky? Quick, loose, fun. I want more of that.
