Letting it Out

While talking about our painting journeys recently,
a friend said,
"At this stage, it's all in there.
Our job is to just let it out".   

I love that.
                                     
I'm feeling like I'm at that stage these days, 

so I went to my favorite subject matter
and approached it without thinking too much. 

"Beach Happy"

The use of large flat shapes of color 

has been an evolving element 

throughout my painting journey

and it feels good to be just 

letting it out!
