Day 17 - Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days

This one is kind of fun. It started out as an experiment in sprtizing and pouring yesterday but my impatience quickly turned it into a gray mess. So I let it dry overnight and painted over it all this morning using a palette knife to make sure that most of the mud disappeared. I stayed with the color scheme from yesterday and applied it to a stand of trees - very abstracted - I painted what I "understand" to be a tree rather than what a particular tree actually looks like. In the end - not too bad. I think there is more that I can do with this concept and a fresh substrate.
