This is what I've been trying to get at all week...it's just what I wanted from a knife painting. Getting away from the canvas panels really helped, I thought the canvas texture would be good for this type of painting...but I just don't like it, it gets in my way.
I did another one of these palette knife paintings today, I'm also working on a few other paintings...they'll be up soon. I'm not going to type much today, my wrist is killing me! and I have no idea why!
But if you need a laugh I recommend this post, I laughed so hard I cried and could hardly breath. Amazing.
It's probably been 6 years since I've done a palette knife painting, but yesterday I saw this painting and it inspired me to try it out again. I just loved how it was sort of representational but abstract at the same time. I loved the broad green color and how juicy the whole thing looked...I could just stare at it forever.
So in response I painted these two pieces, I like the first one a lot...
I never really thought about this phrase until I actually saw a hay field...oh make hay! Now if only I could have the same thing happen with phrases like "the bees knees" or "the cats pajamas".
Anyway, two of my paintings are in this show, and the reception is this Saturday :)
