Dashing Sandpiper

Dashing Sandpiper/ oil on canvas board/ 6" x 6"/ SOLD
I painted this on a canvas board and  followed Julie Ford Oliver's  (link) suggestion to "fracture" more gently. I think that disrupting the edges of a subject by scratching or fracturing adds a lot of movement to a painting. It is fun to do. If you are interested, you can get Julie's art byte about her fracturing technique at Daily Paintworks.

  3. Thanks, Lydia. You will love the art byte and this method is a lot of fun. Sometimes, I think it can rescue an otherwise dullish painting. I learn a lot from Julie's blog. She is a great teacher.
