Crazy Garden, 16 x 20 inches, oil on canvas.

I finally had a little time away from my sweet son to work in the studio. This weird piece is done exclusively with my fingers, or rather the tips of my much to large rubber gloves. This appoach makes an interesting and delicate mark--I may do some more of it, but with a stronger subject matter. I am not the first to come up with painting with gloved hands..one of my favorite painters, Ken Auster, has been doing this lately.

The technique sounds borrowed from finger painting, and Ben and Lea and Jason expect to be cited as "influences" as well... This painting is really lovely, and looks like Monet to me!
