Paper And Palette Knife

Paper, paint, palette knife and twenty minutes. Finally snuck one in. I have painted every day for the last week. On projects and not art. Feel so much better now.

Started with a blank sheet of paper, no drawing or plan. Just the idea of palette knife practice. I reached for paint, and pulled out parched bottles. Spreading paint, scratching and scraping. Perhaps this is a work in progress.

I added a few phosphorescent trees at the bottom right. Plastic palette knife made marks to pudgy. I knew I could patch and polish in Photoshop, but this time it was just as easy to pile on more paint.

Simple setup.

Color has everything to do with why I like this. Different application, another pour. Softer hues. I love intense color, bold, highly pigmented. This is a breath of fresh air. Very welcome at the end of this hectic month. Another lucky creation. A blessing!

Sometimes it’s O.K. if the only thing
you did today was breathe.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset
or the beauty of the moon,
my soul expands
in the worship of the creator.
Mahatma Gandhi

So happy with this. I poured the paint onto the paper. Started with light colors and layered for darker tones. Showing it upside down from how I created it. I love the organic feel, the soft colors. Got lucky with this. Whew!
