Salsa

"Salsa"      11" x 14"
I was part of a large fund raiser last Saturday called "Open Canvas".  80 artists in the area worked from 1:00 till about 9:00 to create a 36" x 40" painting.  Patrons came about 5:00 and watched all of us as we painted, and then the paintings were auctioned off at the end of the night.  The challenging thing was that we had to paint in acrylic paint, so the paintings would be dry at the end of the night.  I don't work in acrylics, and although it's good to try different mediums sometime, I'm really glad to be back to my oils!!  The night and the event was great fun!

This was a little study I did prior to doing my large painting.  I changed many things in the final large piece, but I liked how this one turned out too.  It was fun to work in really bright colors.
