"Green Apple"...

6x6 oil on panel

here's another piece done completely with a pallette knife...it's interesting that you can do a curved shape with a totally straight instrument...tricky..the secret is to do lots of small straight lines and they end up looking curved...

i've been busy

so i took a fabulous workshop with leslie byrd saeta a few weeks ago...this little ditty is painted with only a pallette knife.  i've used a pallette knife lots of times but this workshop was different..no brushes allowed...since then i've tried to work exclusively this way..even people paintings..i'm getting ready to head to st. simon's and wanted to do some stuff for the galleries down there ahead of time. i'll be posting in the days ahead.  we've had so much stuff going on around here that my painting and posting has gone by the wayside...hoping to get back at it!!
