10" x 8"
Oil on Canvas Board

This is another painting done using only a palette knife. I have only done them in the studio from photographs. Now I think I will try some plein air palette knife painting, maybe a bit smaller in size.

At Rest
8" x 10"
Oil on Canvas Board
$75.00
This is another painting done with a palette knife in my attempt to loosen up my painting style. It was painted at our cottage that is on an island right next to a waterway system, so there is an endless supply of reference for painting boats. I find it less distracting to paint at the cottage. When you are on an island, life doesn't get in the way as easily as it does at home.

Portrait of a Rose
8 " x 8"
I was trying a new painting surface with this piece. It has about 4 layers of modelling paste on it, sanded completely smooth in between coats and then a final coat of marble dust to give it some tooth. It is a nice surface but a lot of work to prepare. I would rather buy a board!

This painting was done at our cottage. I have been trying to loosen up my style of painting especially for landscapes and plein air. When I have a brush in my hand I tend to tighten up my style no matter how hard I try not to. So for this painting I used only a palette knife and was really happy with the results. It's hard to include too much detail with a palette knife. The painting is at at the cottage and I don't think the colours in the photo are true to the painting, but I didn't have it here to compare.
