Shore Line 3, landscape with an egret near a stream

"Shore Line 3"

This is a palette knife version of an earlier painting that I really liked, but wanted to see in a different technique. I like it much better this way! The textures make the colors jump off of the painting!

Enjoy!

Ready to frame.

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.

As Winter Ends, spring landscape

"As Winter Ends"


About This Painting:
This is a fun little painting with lots of flowers and the promise of warmer weather! The last time I was up north in the spring time, so many trees had flowers all over them!  This is a wonderful memory for me. This painting is also a match to "Summer's End."

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.
Ready to frame.

Smokies, mountain landscape, knife painting

"Smokies"

About This Painting:
Painted from pictures I took in the Smokey Mountains. We were up about 3,000 feet. I was amazed at all the colors even though it was foggy. The palette knife gives this painting a rugged and wild feeling, exactly what I had hoped for!

In The Light, abstract lanscape palette knife painting

"In The Light"
About This Painting:
I have worked on this one off and on for a few weeks. It started as a very abstract palette knife painting and quickly became more representational. Love the thick textures in the grass! I added the angel in the middle of the sun for more interest....
