Reflections

"Reflections"
Oil on canvas
2010

I totally forgot my solvents at home and this is mostly, like 98%, a palette knife painting.

I did forget it a few times as well
and you know what? it's such a treat!

You maneged well and the work is just awesome! So definitely no harm done to trow away that solvent!!

Thanks guys.
This is more the style i used to do when i started to paint.
Its refreshing to do stuff with different approach.
And painting with the knife is always super fun!
Cheers!

btw, this is number 401,
that makes 99 paintings before the magical "paint 500 paintings and you know how to paint" barrier.
Almost there..

I have only about 460 paintings to paint to reach that point. :)

HA!
It actually could be easy to get there fast with some of those big wall painting brushes :D

If you only have lemons, make lemonade, may be you dont need the brushes, great painting , cheers

Really powerful. This gives me the sense of a river flowing in a snow covered wonderland. The knife treatment works beautifully! Gorgeous!

Jesus:
Thank you, I like your thinking :)

Gwen:
Thank you, It surely is a snow wonderland in here now.
Such a beauty is really hard to capture, but will continue to try.
Cheers!

And this one fell face down on the floor while still wet. Luckily it was the painter himself and not the wife to blame for the accident, and the painting still looks wonderful =)
