Bear Side, fall scene, mountain landscape

"Bear Side"

About This Painting: Tried another palette knife painting on gallery wrap canvas. The painting continues on the deep sides, so framing is not needed.

Painted this one from memory. When I go back home to visit my family in Montana and Washington State, I take a lot of pictures, especially if we go up in The Rockies. My older brother lives near Glacier National Park now, so I love staying at his house!

Instead of using my photographs, I made this one up as I went along. It was fun to change, add, and rearrange things until I found this composition, which is very strong because of the diagonal lines and the bright colors. I added the little bear near the tree line because I always see deer, or bear, or something, every time I go back!

Early Fall, mountain landscape with a stream

"Early Fall"

This painting started as a palette knife demonstration, then I added more details and color when I got home. The palette knife is perfect for water because it creates a sparkling effect. Let the paint dry and gently add the bright color over the top and the texture underneath grabs the bright colors....really fun to do.
Enjoy!

Stormy Sunset, skyscape, clouds, landscape


"Stormy Sunset"


Fun little palette knife painting. It has a somewhat abstract feel to it. I saw these very blue clouds against the stormy purple sky while I took my walk a few nights ago. It had just rained and the sun was going down, and the colors were changing fast all over the sky! I had to come home and paint it!

This little painting is on gallery wrap canvas, so the sides are deep and the painting wraps around the edges. It has a contemporary look to it. The canvas adds a grainy texture to it, plus it has the palette knife textures.
This painting continues on the edges, so framing is not needed.

Heavenly Hope, palette knife angel

"Heavenly Hope"


This angel reminds us that our hope is found in Jesus Christ. When we look to the cross and get our eyes off of ourselves, then we can find peace of mind and joy.
Joy doesn't mean that we have no pain, or that we are laughing and silly all the time, it just means that we are content and can accept the trials that come our way. We can thank our Father God and worship Him even in the midst of the trials. This is not for wimps! It is very hard to get your eyes off of what others have done to hurt you and forgive them, and it is very hard to sing and praise God when everything around you seems to be going wrong. Yet God asks us to trust him and believe that he will work it out for our good in the end. (James 1:2-4 and Romans 8:28)

Gentle Song, palette knife waterfall, realism

"Gentle Song"

Created this palette knife painting from pictures I took up in the mountains.
I am having so much fun going through some of my old pictures and bringing my memories to life with these palette knife paintings! It has become an obsession lately. Part of it is because I am doing a show at my university in October. FAU has invited me to come back and show my palette knife paintings! How exciting!

Heavenly Connections, palette knife angel

"Heavenly Connections"

This is similar to "Endless Hope." It was a custom order that is in a larger format. I absolutely love painting these angels more than anything. They bring peace and joy to me in such abundance, and I send them on with prayers for those who view them. It is also a great reminder that Almighty God has put his angels around us to help us.
In the Bible angels are mighty warriors, and those who saw them fell down in fear! They can also seem like normal people, and we never realize they were angels. But often because of symbolism, we give them wings, and make them look like beautiful women. Which I am sure is very possible as well.

A little Spring, landscape with a natrual spring

"A Little Spring"


About This Painting:
From a painting demonstration for my kid's summer class. I added more detail when I got home. The lesson was on a limited palette. The kids each got to choose a color scheme. (This was my older group.) It was hard for them at first, but once they figured out they could add white and they could get grays, browns and blacks by mixing the colors together, then it became very fun! I love to see the light bulbs turn on as they try new things.

Thanks for looking!

Healing Hymns, palette knife angel

"Healing Hymns"
About This Painting:
This is the second part of a commissioned set. The first one was posted a few days ago: "Heavenly Horizons." I love these contrasting colors! I added more detail to the face and the Harp of David, so this one has a different look to it (more realism) but I felt like it needed more this time.

Stormy Beach, palette knife seascape at sunset or sunrise

"Stormy Beach"

Bright loud colors! Really grabs your attention.
I saw this tall cloud the other day and wanted to put it over the beach.  Love the exaggerated colors and the way they reflect in the sand.

Palette knife painting has definitely become my favorite means of expression these days. Hard to go back to small brushes and details after watching the interesting patterns and swirls intermix with wet-in-wet paint. It is very exciting to see the colors mix, and then to be able to touch it and feel the texture on it after it is dry.

Heavenly Horizons, palette knife angel

"Heavenly Horizons"

About This Painting:
Started with purple and yellow, and then added some pinks and blues to help tie it together. I like the glow around the angel. Purple is symbolic for the unknown and spiritual realms. Yellow is symbolic for joy and enlightenment. This painting was done with a painting knife, giving it a unique texture and interesting effects. It was commissioned as part of a set.

Eagle Bay Palm, plein air landscape

"Eagle Bay Palm"


About This Painting:
This is a plein air painting (out on location) that I did a few years ago. Eagle Bay is a large marsh next to Lake Okeechobee and it hooks up to the rim canal. Usually you can see lots of wildlife all around this area. I liked the way the palm tree just stuck out of the top of all the brush. I have just gone back and added more highlights, and some egrets too.

About This Painting:
This is an older painting that is up for bid. I painted this from photos I took on Arbuckle Creek. Everything was so bright and sunny that day, I wanted to try to capture it. Good memories.

Crossing Over, stone bridge, palette knife painting

"Crossing Over"
About This Painting:

This began as a lesson for my students in Fort Pierce a few months ago. It has sat around, unfinished, waiting for me to "touch it up." Well, I have been doing a lot more palette knife paintings lately, so I had to repaint the whole thing to get the affect I wanted. But it really does make great textures for the stones. The water was just a given, always love the way the palette knife adds sparkle to water.

I titled this painting "Crossing Over" to give it a spiritual connotation: crossing over a difficult time, letting go of past hurts, forgiving a life long grudge, accepting a new job, finding hope and joy again, or even leaving this earthly tent for our true home . . . Whatever you want it to mean.....
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Endless Peace, palette knife angel

"Endless Peace"

This little painting is part of a series of knife paintings I am experimenting with. It started with blobs of color straight from the tube. I began to exaggerate the swirl and then decided to add the angel.

 I just love the textures and the way the knife gives an abstract feel to the whole thing. It is purely a selfish creation on my part. I got frustrated with a couple of other paintings that are not coming together yet and did this one as a way to cheer myself up and re-gather my composure. The angel reminds me to let things go and be patient.
