Overgrown Garden

This is a quick painting started in acrylic and finished with oil paint. I discuss why I choose to build up the painting "organically" and allow myself to be lead by an intuitive sensibility for perceiving colors and light on form.

I hope you enjoy it!

Jan, that's an interesting statement... thanks for seeing the similarties in some of the brushwork and approach. I think Sargent was a genius and enormous talent as well as a unique artist:) Hope your day is going well.

Yes, can see Sargeant similarity. He was a good painter, but you're an ARTIST, Bravo Michael!

How did you make sense out of that backyard jungle. Amazing.

Thank you Leonie, means a lot! You got it exactly;)

Hi Michael, thank you for your post showing how you approach your painting processes. It is valuable to see how you integrate the traditional techniques of your training background with the intuitive and organic aspects of your personality. I can see how all your posts are parts of the puzzle. As you mentioned here, there is a great deal of overlap in the posts to bring all these aspects together for our own progression. The intuitive and organic aspects of the painting practice are not always readily available, or perhaps not as easily passed on by teachers. I think you have a special gift in teaching, in that painting is an emotive practice rather than just producing a picture. I’m loving it!!
