More Red

I might submit this painting to the "Primarily Red"" show at the I-5 Gallery as well. It's 24" x 36", and I just finished it today. It's a cousin to the overlapping brushstroke painting in the post below. I covered it with black gesso, let it partially dry, and then hosed it down.

I think it's one of those pieces that looks better in person!

This one might be good for the "Primarily Not Red" show! It's really difficult to know how long to wait before hosing off a painting. Too soon, and everything washes off. Too late, and nothing washes off.
