| Palette Knife Peonies Oil on masonite, 6x4 |
With temperatures soaring in the 70’s, it seems that spring is unfolding around me! I simply had to paint flowers today - and peonies are one of my favorites! I am using my new Princeton Catalyst and painting this in palette knife fashion. I love the flexible way this “knife” moves across the surface! It has been so long since I’ve slathered on thick, juicy strokes - and it feels good! Gamblin’s “radiant magenta” is a real stand out on these petals - the very opaque paint lays on top of the edges for petals that really come to life. This painting makes 1143 in 1143 days!
It's gorgeous! I am so impressed by how much beautiful art you do!
