Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I was looking through my portfolio today and ran across an image of a painting I really enjoyed painting.  It is sold, but there are several qualities that I like in this painting.  The color palette is vivid and bold.  The colors are not muddy.  The abstract quality is there, but you can still identify the subject.  I like how the dragonfly looks---fluttering or moving across the canvas.  I am working on a new palette knife painting in the studio, and would love to repeat some of these qualities, which is a challenge considering the subject matter.  (Not a beautifiul dragonfly.)  Thanks for looking at this blog...more painting in the studio today.  Kay
