Painting No. 65: Hobie Sailin'

Painting No. 65, 8x10in, oil on hardboard

This might look familiar if you've been following my blog. It's very similar to a 6x6 painting I did about a month ago. I'm very pleased with how this one came out. I like my variety of brushstroke style and width. Sometimes I can overwork a painting and it looks forced and too blended...but I was able to keep this one loose and 'free' feeling, if that makes any sense. It probably is my favorite painting so far on my journey to 500. (And luckily, 'I' get to keep it since it was painted for Wes' birthday! :)
