Painting small quick studies allows for experimenting without the time commitment should it not work out. Without regret, I have wiped away many failed attempts working at smaller sizes.

This oil shows a break from my usual palette. Using more black interspersed through-out gives it a more gritty look. Blurring the foreground to add some movement and indicating or suggesting forms rather than clearly delineating them for a more ambiguous effect.43
