Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Day #5 in the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge

I painted all day yesterday---so much that my feet and knees hurt this morning.  I hope to finish and post the painting I am currently working on for tomorrow.  This painting was inspired after seeing a photograph that fellow artist and friend, Mark Malone took.  He had blown the image up and it was so neat!  I used one size palette knife on this canvas....the paint is built-up, giving it texture.  I had to stop a few times to let the paint dry, then go back into the paint layers of color.  I did not want to create mud!  This contemporary palette knife painting was so much fun to paint.  Contact Kay for more information. Thanks for looking...Kay
