PUSH! oil on canvas 6x6

    Another loose painting. I suppose for the readers who are unsure as to what I mean by loose when referring to a painting some clarity might be useful. Loose here is referring to a brush-not tightly controlled. Lines are loose, edges are blurred, colors transition loosely and not with abrupt changes. It lends itself to an impressionist feel for although the margins are indistinct the viewer knows the artists intent. The mind is filling in the details from what is seen. Often it may a convey a sense of movement as well-certainly something desired here. The middle figure draws are attention with the largest color mass in the painting-also its warm colors contrast sharply with the cooler colors of the snow, but there is also the reflected color onto the snow from this figure.
