As part of classes that I teach, we do an exercise at the beginning to give the students an idea of how I work and what technique I use to apply layers of paint. I usually paint along with the classes with this exercise in an attempt to "loosen them up". I have enjoyed this exercise, and found several of the paintings I did as being complete in my mind and great little paintings. This is one example.

This painting has been sold and is in a private collection.
