When I got home I gave myself a challenge to paint something entirely with a palette knife. My reference was a previous plein air study. An interesting aspect to my assignment was a heavily textured panel. I let some of the canvas show through. Palette knives are cool. The one I used was a nice bend-y one. I'll do more of these!

And you shoud do more like this, this is a lovely painting. I really like how the random textures peek through, it really gives the piece an antiqued feel with your fresh twist that works very well together.
Ooooh! You must do more with a palette knife. This one has a lot of depth. Very nice!!
Can't beat those 'bendy' palette knives!
liken' those cool greens too
What clean and fresh colors. Makes me want to try palette knife too
Gorgeous light, colors and perspective. I never tried painting with palette knives, but love the effect it gives.
Wow yes you should. I also love using knives and fingers and credit cards, best use for them. I love you painting Celeste beautiful.
I love palette knife paintings and unfortunately, I am just not able to figure it out. LOL I can't seem to get the paint off the palette knife no matter how hard I try to wipe it on the canvas.
This is beautiful, Celeste and you've captured that perfect blue sky too. I have so many favorites of your work what the heck is one more???
nice!
I agree with Michael,the canvas peeking through does give a nice antique feel to he painting. Palette knives are great for minimizing details--if not entirely.
Yes, do more of these... Heavenly!
Beautiful, Celeste. I remember the previous study--like a country lane here in VA. Yesterday's Rain was great!
not sure what a cowboy pizza is but I'm sure I'd love it since I love all pizza. Palette knives are a blast.
I love the texture in this and the way you 'imply' the scene rather than paint it more directly. Gives such a charming nostalgic, and evocative feel. Can't take my eyes off it!
That is what I need, a bendy knife? I'll get one, if you think it will help
wait. I forgot to write that I like the texture and the colors.
I love this one! Great colours and light. Aren't palette knives fabulous to play with?
