Landscape, oil on paper sketch 20 x 10 cm
This was part of a rapid sketch on paper using large household brushes and a right-brain approach. I then cropped this image from the larger painting. It's unusual for me in that it uses lemon yellow and red, two colours I rarely use without mixing in something else. I feel there is something alive about it because of the speed and energy used.

Thank you Louise and Julian.
Excellent lively work Mike 👏👏
This is really nice Mike. Always good to try colours you don’t usually use! – and as you say the speed and energy really help give that sense of aliveness and help the painting hang together as a whole. I like the portrait format as well
