More fun with Fox Hunting

The Fox Hunt 

8 x 10 

Even though the subjects in this are all in direct sunlight,
(no strong dark and light shadow pattern)
the image attracted me because of all the black and white shapes 

surrounding the one big red one. 

I used a board that I had toned with high gloss exterior paint 

so the surface was really slippery.

It helped keep things loose,

but I found it hard to control the brushstrokes.
Oh well. It's fun to be out of control once in a while! 

On another note: 

I recently ran across the work of 

Chicago based artist Darren Thompson.

I love this guy's work.

Talk about loose and juicy! 

His paintings are so expressionistic and full of energy.  

A real inspiration!
