Star Gazing

 

Star Gazing
20" x 16" Oil on Panel
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
A big shout-out to Val, who took the photo that inspired me to paint this panel.  She was at White Rock Lake looking for the Bethlehem Star.  This photo is stunning...and I just had to paint it.  I started our with brushes, but decided that thick impasto would give it texture.  After laying out the painting, I took my palette knife to the piles of paint that I had mixed up.  This painting is drying in the studio.
