Two Reflections
Two Reflections, Oil, 6" x 8"
I painted this one last night after a long day on jury duty. I felt a bit rushed and frustrated but I liked it a lot more when I saw it on my easel this morning. Funny how that always happens. Hope you like it!
I missed your last post... You must be getting them out really fast these days. I like them both although they are quite different. Glad your SF was fun. Your palette knife work is so lively... wish I knew how to do it!!
Marian, You are such a sweetheart. We should get together to paint sometime and I will hand you a palette knife - I promise. (But you have to promise to help me with a brush!).
Bill (or Lisa), Thanks for visiting my blog. Can;t wait to see how those students painted the striped fabric. My palette knife paintings are always so thick, just depends on my mood, I suppose.
Frastration is good in your case. Very nice I love it.

It's great. It must have felt good to paint after jury duty, in spite of fatigue. I just got called for jury duty too-bleh!!
ReplyDeleteit's wonderful when you can see something on the canvas and then just do it from the heart. it's that wonderful zone that is so rare for me... r.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of thick paint but this piece is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteJala - Have fun on jury duty! I wish I could talk about my case, but it will have to wait until it is over. Thanks for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteRahina,
ReplyDeleteI do love those onions you painted this week! You are sooo talented. I am thrilled you have visited my blog. Thanks.
I love your reflections. It's very effective how the 'real' scene is thick, and the water is smoother.
