Acrylic with Palette Knife, 8x10"
Sorry for the glare on this photo. It is from my scanner. The painting is quite shiny. I need to adjust my proportion of gloss to matt medium. In a couple of weeks, I can put some matt varnish on this piece and then scan it again. I'll try to remember to show it to you then!
After spending a chunk of yesterday morning on a painting that wasn't going to work out, I spent a chunk of yesterday afternoon playing on this one. I think the playing won out over the working! This one was purely for my amusement, seeing what moves I could make with the palette knife and just enjoying seeing colors next to colors.
I remember when I took the reference photo this fall, what attracted me to the scene was the way the leaves seemed to spiral around the tree. I hope I have managed to convey some of that effect here...
Thanks for looking!

Meredith this works beautifully in it's bold, almost abstract quality. Very nice!
This is really beautiful!!!! Love the colors and the movements... has a Chinese feel to it... a garden in paradise!!! I don't see any glare!!!
Lovely and lively painting, Meredith!
Ummm, nice. I love the color and looseness. I'd like to see this on a canvas about 30" x 36"!
Really cool!

OK....worked this time. I can see the spiral for sure and I love the colors.
Love,

Yup, I love this one too. It was revealed to me slowly from the top down as it loaded and I liked it from the tippy-top. I just knew I was going to like the full painting and it didn't disappoint.

Bold and full of energy, Meredith!! I haven't ever worked with a palette knife, it must be an exciting challenge :-)
