awe struck....

Night Life


SOLD

Modern Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Acrylic on 36" x 48" gallery canvas

This painting will light up a room!! I will be doing a commissioned work based off of this painting, Indian Summer (posted earlier) and Italia which recently sold. The colors will be bold and vivid like Indian Summer and have an abstract skyline like Night Life. Each panel will measure 60" x 24" and hang vertically on a long wall separated by a fireplace. ....and of course, I will post these when completed!!

Yesterday, in meeting the family and being in the home in which these paintings will be hung, it struck me of what an enormous influence that the work that I so love doing will have on this family. It will be a part of their family for years to come. With this thought in mind I am both honored and humbled.

Night Life is still available for purchase from Hawthorns Galleries. If interested in purchasing contact Kylee at 417-866-6688.

Monday......back to work

Indian Summer

Abstract Expressionism Palette Knife Painting

Acrylic on 24" x 30" gallery canvas

What do you do when you really don't feel like working? Ever feel like that on a Monday?! This painting was began with that sort of a feeling. After having endured criticism in which I felt I might lose my inspiration and confidence in working with bold color, I knew I had to get back in there. Once again, I don't feel this photograph does this painting justice. There are layers and layers of layered colored painted with a palette knife and acrylic paint. When viewing this work up close you can see all these colors and from a distance they blend. It is beautiful!

An interest has been expressed in my doing a large commissioned piece in this style. Similar paintings to this one that I have done are Night Life and Italia (two panels). I enjoy very much this technique and am excited about this opportunity. I will definitely post them as well.

So, what do you do when you don't feel inspired-

"Inspiration far more often comes during the work than before it because the largest part of the job of the artist is to listen to the work and to go where it tells him to go" L'Engle

just trust that it will come and get started.
