Oil, 36" x 36"
Sold.
I shipped this painting off today. It was one of my "Larger Painting" specials. It's a pretty big size ... 36" square. I love to paint larger paintings but I am a bit amazed by the quantity of paint needed for these bigger palette knife paintings. That reminds me ... in my workshop in Atlanta a few weeks ago one of my students commented that I wiped off almost as much paint as I put on my canvas. As a palette knife painter, I do not use any terps ... just my knife and a paper towel. I usually wipe my blade after every stroke. Maybe I need to re-think this and find a way to save my paint! Kidding ...

Beautiful, Leslie.
Feels like a lazy afternoon.
Perfect title.
Beautiful painting - your comment about the amount of paint needed got me thinking - could you first wipe the blade on an extra palette and save it for greys and then use a paper towel? I often save my paint in the freezer on a glass palette and keep my greys for at least a little while. Hope you don't mind the free advice :)
Beautiful painting! I can relate to you about wasting precious oil paints! I have yet to do anything larger than 36" although everyone says to do some larger pieces! It takes so much paint and it's a gamble. I think I'm going to break out the old acrylics:)

Beautiful! Can't get over the size, would love to see this technique in person this large! Do you mix your paint on a palette or the directly on the canvas?
Didn't Kelley tell you about the caulking tube size paint tubes?
I love listening to the archives of the show when I'm painting or on the computer.
The painting rocks and you're selling like crazy...so...what you do it working!
