Michael Buble...OMG!  My son, Doren bought us tickets on mother's day for his concert.  We went to this event here in Springfield, Mo. on Tuesday night.  Incredible....So many new ideas came from this.  There's got to be a "Crazy Love" heart to come from this!! 

Experimenting with this small painting before a larger one in which I've been thinking about limiting myself to just black and white.   Working with only black and white is harder than it appears, at least for me.  As you can see with this little one, color made it's way in. I painted this one after a larger one that I just completed "Traverse" which will be posted next week....or can be seen here. ....in a similar  palette.   I feel as if I've been working a lot with the same color palette and maybe the limitation would be a cleansing, so to speak and move me a long to working with other color schemes. We'll see...

Contemporary Expressionistic Palette Knife Painting

Palette knife painting with metallic copper, silver and gold intertwined with color.  My first palette knife painting was one titled "Indian Summer" out of which the opportunity to do a commissioned painting "Better Two" emerged (two large 24" x 60" panels).  Since then there has been Rich, Mestizo, Curtain Call, Iridescent, Fancy Flight, Italia, Rainy Day Cafe and now "New Dawn".  These are done with a palette knife, paint straight from the tube with the mixing of colors done on the canvas.  The metallics may be hard to see as they do not photograph well, but this painting is gorgeous in the bright light.

New Dawn reminds me of the newness or freshness that comes with each morning.  Another day is a gift to be treasured and enjoyed.  Like a city on a hill as the sun is coming up, it begins to bring light to one side of the hill and as it spreads it brings light and warmth to the coolness and darkness of night ...and with it hope.

"Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning.  Ecclesiastes 11:7
