No title for this one, I'm afraid. I still had some leftover ripped canvas that I used for texture. Plenty of mixing and improvising with the paints--but it's with this painting that I began to feel a sense of frustration with the limitations of thicker paint, given that it's mostly all I have. There's a point, I'm learning, where the medium mixed with the paint will only take you so far in blending it on the canvas. Sometimes you can unwittingly take off more paint that you put on--a totally counterintuitive concept, but it does happen. On the other hand, I sometimes like the effect, and I think it works in earthy paintings such as this one.
