Good morning, it's Wednesday already!

"The purpose of painting is to lift the veil of mystery into consciousness."

Today's painting is called "Dune Grasses of Assateague", 6"x6" oil on masonite artboard. I've been working on some color studies for a larger painting. Chincoteague, VA & Assateague National Wildlife Refuge is a favorite place of mine to go visit. Sometimes you'll notice various colors in the grasses, blooming plants (weeds or wildflowers?). I always find it exciting to put these views into a painted interpretation!
