Water Lily-Painting Knife

 Close ups

Oi on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is from one I painted in August, click here.. I liked it so much, I wanted to try the close up image that was posted with the Aug, painting.
This is all painting knife. At the time, I'm fairly happy with how it came out. i might change my mind tomorrow.

Available ... If interested, contact me at kkayangel2(at)yahoo.com

    It's a beauty, Dean. I looked back at August to compare. I really like how you have cropped the image to re-do it with a different focus.

      Thanks, Kathryn!
      Many times I have liked a cropped close up of my work much more than the original composition.
      I may do more of this in the future...turn the close up into a painting.

      That's high praise, Julia...Thanks!!
      I like painting "whites". There's so much room for play and interpretation.
      Hope you solve your puter problems soon.

      Thanks, Arti! I'm beginning to think I really prefer the knife to the brush when it comes to florals. It helps me to not get tied up in details.
      I really like your water lilies on your blog today!! Super!

    Well, Dean, I do think it is delightful. In fact, I'd say you are truly perfecting your use of the palette knife.

      Hi, Sherry...Thanks!
      I hope that's true. I really like what the painting knife can do. I still have a load to learn.

    I like the bits of color throughout- complex, but it still comes together beautifully!
