Pear and Plum Still Life, Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil on canvas panel, sold
Have not done a still life, or a palette knife painting for a while, so this one was in my comfort zone.
 |
| SOLD I naturally tend to lean towards cool colors, so I had fun working all my favorite color relationships. |
This scene is a repaint, from years ago. I couldn't find the original photograph, but I did have a photo of the first painting, so I used that as a guide. The first painting was done with a brush, which is why I decided to mix it up a little, by using a palette knife this time around.
Hope you enjoy it!

Mountain Wildflowers, Floral Landscape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x6" Oil on Panel SOLD
Last fall, we took a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a crisp, sunny day and my camera was busy clicking away.
 |
| SOLD It's hard to go wrong with a blue and yellow painting.....it just shouts "Cheerful". The background was painted with a brush, but I used a palette knife on the flowers and grasses. That's when it started to be really fun!
I feel like I was able to capture the feel of the day......I hope it made you smile!

Alligator Painting, Wildlife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel SOLD
These guys are not uncommon sights in Florida. Sometimes you see them snoozing in the sun next to a road. Golfer's here usually have a scary encounter to tell.
This was my third attempt to paint this fellow. I had difficulty getting the drawing correct, as well as the color. The image I worked from was not exciting. Eventually, I think I worked it out.
Go gators!

Small Oil Seascape, Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Beach Scene
I may have left Florida behind, bu it is still on my mind. I look forward to spending time on the beach this winter.
I have several seascapes in my new Asheville home........it keeps me from getting homesick! ACTUALLY, I love it here in the mountains. I now feel I have the best of both worlds. Mountains in the spring, summer and fall, and the beach in the winter. Looking forward to being a "snow bird".
Thanks for visiting today.

This piece was painted, from my memories of days on the beach, the air full of salt spray.
I painted with a palette knife, because, you all know how much I admire texture in my work.

Small Landscape Painting, Cabin in the Woods, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" oil on panel
This is a small painting I did last fall. We have moved from Florida to North Carolina, and this one was overlooked in the craziness of an interstate move. Deep breath......it is all over now!

I often passed this cabin, on my daily walks. I am always inspired by the beauty surrounding me during my walks. The cabin looked so charming, nestled in the trees, with spots of sunlight hitting it.
This piece is a combination of brush and palette knife.
I have gone without painting for several months due to my move. I am anxious to return to my new (small) studio, and begin this new version of my daily routine. I hope I remember how to paint!
Thanks for viewing!

Wildlife Painting, Tropical Fish Painting, Palette Knife Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil
While unpacking, after moving from Florida to North Carolina, I found a few paintings that were never posted.
This one was inspired by a trip to Key Largo, a few years ago. One of the highlights of the trip, was a cruise to the coral reefs.

I enjoy painting water with a palette knife and I love texture in a painting. This piece has both.
Enjoy!
