THERE'S A KIND OF BLUSH ALL OVER THE WORLD
8"x10"

Day 25 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.  This title might just give my age away.  Do you remember the song from the 70's? I took the liberty of paraphrasing it this morning.  I had a blast painting this one. I underpainted with textured gesso.  After that dried, I floated the apricots, pinks, aquas and browns to create a very rough and loose surface. While it was damp, I dropped some alcohol into it to create the 'oozles'.  Lastly, I added opaque gouache in the negative spaces behind the trees and attached my collaged horizon line from paper I'd cropped off the original.
