A Celebration.... of the arts.  This painting was part of a live demonstration which I was asked to participate in two years ago as a celebration of the arts at the airport.  As an orchestra played in the background, I painted with a palette knife to the feel of the music.  I was not all that sure about painting in front of people watching me, but with the music playing I became focused on the orchestrating of color.  This is another painting that I have placed in my Year End Specials.

This is the painting I painted last Thursday night live at the Springfield/Branson airport for a benefit.  You can scroll down a few posts to see me busy at work at my easel.  I chose to work with a palette knife for this event because I knew it would be much easier to wipe my knife off than to deal with changing out water for brushes.  There were other fine arts there performing as well.  I began with a blank canvas that had been undercoated with a terra cotta gesso and no other idea.  The painting is a response or expression capturing the feeling or mood to the evenings Flight of Fancy event.
