Sketchy Illustration in Oil


It's strange; I often sketch without reference when working digitally, but I rarely do that with oil paint. Why not? So last week I decided to just sit down at the easel and push around the paint, with no pre-planning, to see what would come of it. And it was fun!
Oil on masonite, 11x14"
