Forest Swamp

This painting has been an argument. 
I've fought with the surface, the materials, the wind (that's just hopeless), and even the trees, while they shush me with their dry leaves. I'll win this argument, but not today. I think I prefer friendly banter, but maybe my best paintings come from these arguments, throwing in a pinch of tension to mix with the final  calm and resolution. Maybe I just had too much coffee.
