 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean was the gracious hostess.

 I chose the still life because I felt this would be a good subject to continue with the thick, painting knife, technique I used last week.
First I used brush, then the paint shaper, then the painting knife.
I like the active looking surface this gives a painting. Plenty to look at.
I'm not really adept at this style of painting, but I think it would have great possibilities with practice.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

Matthew 9: 12      On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. ¹³ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’^[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Ahh...Spring is just around the corner!! My all time favorite time of year. Warmth...Growth...Life! Thank you, God, for allowing me to experience another Spring.

Once again, as I did last week ( the coyote painting Fri., March 5th) , toward the last of the painting, I used the brush much like a painting knife. Load a gob of under mixed paint and slide it unto the canvas with one swipe...go back and re load. Makes for good texture and paint mix surprises.

The source photo was supplied by Helen for the WDE at Wet Canvas.

Song of Solomon 6:11 I went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley, to see if the vines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom.

This painting was made from a photo supplied by Alain for the WDE at Wet Canvas.

After I had the basic areas of light and shadow blocked in, I created my own colors for the painting. I Applied the paint thickly from the brush almost as if from a painting knife. I enjoyed creating the impasto texture in spots. Hope you folks enjoy it!

Ecclesiastes 11:9 Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
