Pure Luck

Usually when I sit down to paint, I have everything laid out.  I know what colors & techniques I’m going to use, & what picture or tutorial I will work from.  This painting happened one day when I sat down & didn’t know what to paint.  I had a lot of time on my hands & the painting was getting finished much too fast for my liking, so I turned the beach into a series of small dots which I had never done before.  Then I took a dry brush & brushed the colors together for an aged effect.  I couldn’t have done this well if I had tried.  Sometimes it pays to just let yourself go & let the painting just happen.
