Apricot blotchy undercoat
Squeeze a glistening blob
Of cobalt blue
Smear with side of hand
To patchily merge in parts
Gleam sky bright in others
Daub warm yellow
With tips of fingers
Slice with palette knife
Scarlet near the edge
Large worn bristle brush flicks
Nearly there
Viridian and white
Churned direct on canvas
Stroke for the waterfall
Stippled purple for shadows

Done

Thankyou Bar22do :)

Painterly perhaps - it's a landscape, but as rendered by the artist while dawn unfolds into day. The slices of knife through warm yellow are the sunbeams through the trees, the single stroke for a waterfall: as an impression, but as a work in process of creation
