I have a habit of relying too much on my medium (in most cases, linseed oil) and not using enough paint. I'm not sure if it's because I'm cheap or what, but I'm finding that I need to apply more layers of paint later and end up using about the same amount as I would have had I just been more liberal in the first place. My good friend Mark David Larsen always says to apply paint as if you're a millionaire. I can't say that I've fully adopted that mantra, but I'm certainly trying.
Today's painting is one I did of our family dog for my daughter, entitled "Chloe".
