Well, its not easy for me but I thought I would try some alla prima , here are two samples 12by 16 oil on canvas and 11by 14 oil on board. I would love to become comfortable doing a loose free style like this but....im not sure... it took a wile for me to even show anything. this is some of what Im calling a year of "experiments" and" lessons" and why Iv posted almost nothing this year....... 

Hello out there...this year iv been painting but I havent been showing any of my work, most of what iv done has been "experimental ",also a rather long commission that is as of now unfinished .
   The above painting is a 12" by 16" study . the photo was taken from my iPhone and not the best. Unfortunately the painting was damaged and this is the only image I have of it. I wasn't going to show it because of my frustration over its demise but then ,...what the heck!!!
