Malibu Creek

This painting is from Malibu State Park about a year ago or so.
Over the last couple of years I have been studying
compositional design and landscape painting.

It has been a real learning curve for me as
I usually paint from an emotional base rather than
a technical one. I hope to bring these two schools of thought together.
As I continue my studies with my teacher she reassures me that the emotion is still present in the work, but I should continue to concentrate on these devices to make my paintings even more appealing.

It is so hard but I will continue. I want to grow, as most artists do. Patience is also a big part of this process. I did enjoy figuring this puppy out.
