This is a figurative, oil, 30 x 40 inches.

What I like about it is the light. It is on my easel way in the back of the studio and even before the lights are on - it catches the eye.

I did this every fast and loose. The paint is thick in most places. Gobs of it on the rug. This was an experiment. I wanted it loose.

I am not satisfied with it yet though. Just not sure exactly what to change at this point. It looked better a week ago. I should have stopped.

Suggestions appreciated! Digital manipulations welcomed as well.
