Palette Knife Daffodils
Oil on canvas, 6x6 |
I had so much fun playing with the palette knife yesterday, that I decided to start another! I had the bulk of this one painted yesterday - and thank goodness I did! I have been on the run since early this morning, and have only now returned home to get my painting posted! The first layer is brushed on in rather a smooth way, allowing it to recede into the background with soft strokes. Using thick paint and my favorite palette knife for the final layer, I manipulate that knife to add depth and texture to foliage and petals. These daffodils happen to be miniatures I had on the kitchen table as a centerpiece years ago. I then transplanted them outdoors, and they have been multiplying and gracing the front flower bed ever since. This painting is number 807 in 807 days.
