What a Mess

​"Distractions"
8"x8", Oil

Boy this one turned into a muddy mess!  I think I was drawing colors from all the smoke and crazy colors the sun is producing through that smoke that is surrounding me.  If you are not aware... we are choking on smoke from the fires that have engulfed Montana. I intended on using a totally different color palette on this piece.  As I painted, my colors just seemed to get muddier and I realized that they are very reflective of what I see outside.  Tomorrow is another day...  I hope it brings clearer skies as well!
