I wonder if a style can come from discovering a favourite brush? I have certainly found two in my toolkit that I am thoroughly enjoying these days. I counted on one of them when setting out to create this piece..... ALL THAT GREEN!!!!!! It caused me to ask myself, "How do I do justice to all the different tints and tones? How do I separate them and have them make sense on a flat canvas?" I leaned heavily on my recently rediscovered fan brush.
The colours in this view captivated me. In reality, they are definitely NOT as bold as in my painting, but my paints wouldn't allow me to calm the colours down and finally, after a few attempts, I just went with it.
