Sometimes I feel like my work is too sterile, too careful. With that in mind, I try to paint in a freer, looser style, but it almost never works out.
The skaters below need to be finessed, but at least I can play with the icy rink. The marks left by skaters have a nice flow to them, and they add to the composition. A friend long ago noticed that there was no drama to the lighting in the series, but I took the photos on an overcast day and I'm really not good at making things up; I can imagine strong, direct sunlight on the scene, but trying to fake it would only lead to disaster.
