"Searching for Spring" 

36 x 11 1/2,  landscape, oil on gesso board.  

 A painting I made up just having a great time slapping oil paint on gesso board, pushing it around, using a 3 inch brush, a 1 inch brush and a 1/2 inch brush. Creating out of a sense of freedom, standing back, estimating where to put the next strokes, and loving the fresh greens, enjoying the whole process! I may not be finished either. What do you think?
