Secret Stream, palette knife painting

"Secret Stream"




About This Painting:
This one started as a path with pebbles and stones on the edges of it. Then it reminded me of one of many creeks I have crossed in Montana, so I added more rocks. I used a palette knife to get that sparkle effect of the water dancing down stream. Really fun to to create with a knife, because you never know what you will get in the end.


Enjoy!

Ready to frame.

Taste and See, animal portrait, equine art, horse, foal

"Taste and See"



This is one I did awhile ago, I have touched it up, and made a few corrections. I took pictures of the neighbor's foal in the early morning, then when I painted it, I exaggerated the lighting and the colors. I also used a loose approach and exaggerated the contrast.

Abstract Oak Leaves, demo from O'keeffe

"Abstract Oak Leaves"


We looked at Georgia O'keeffe a week ago in my kid's summer art class. I had my students free-hand some interesting leaf shapes before we painted it in. Then we added some of our own colors too. Each student had a completely different painting by the time we got finished. I went back and finished mine out a few days later.

I also had them work on their own projects, zooming in on flowers and painting a similar style. We are having a great time!

Ready to frame.

Eternal Love, angels at sunset, knife painting

"Eternal Love"

This is a custom order, taken from "Endless Love." This one was created with painting knives, while "Endless Love" was done with brushes on a smaller board. The knife gives it a more abstract look, as the blending technique isn't as soft. I like the energy the two angels seem to have between them.

Enjoy!

Moving On, sunset, landscape, rim canal

"Moving On"


Started as a demo with distant hills and a large lake. I went back later and turned the hills into the dike around Lake Okeechobee. Completely made this up from memory. Then I added the rocky shore, palm tree, and birds. Finally I made the alligator swimming in the canal.
