Redbud Sonata

Redbud Sonata
Oil on panel, 8x6

This is my second painting of today, the first one - I am just not happy with, yet!  I painted this outside in the yard - over by the windmill.  It is absolutely beautiful out today!  The redbuds are just now coming into their full glory - and I just can't paint them enough!  I am working on my brushstrokes on this painting.  I had an artist friend tell me he likes to use at least 5 different strokes in a painting.  What a marvelous idea!  So,  I am trying just that!  This one is loose and free - like the wind blowing everything around today.  Painting number 118 in 118 days.
