It's so-o-o-o cold here today that I just had to make this little taste of summer! A few months ago I painted a couple of these garden scenes in oils, so decided to try the acrylics this time. They are so forgiving!!

Like yesterday's painting, this is of flowers growing in a local community garden--and it, too, was a joy to paint! After what feels like laboring over the figurative paintings lately, these little painting knife oils are a welcome change. I love the juicy paint you can put on with a knife, and the looseness that you have no choice about! I am looking forward to seeing how I can incorporate this with my figurative work.

These poppies are part of a community garden not far from my home. They are just so fresh and colorful and it just did my heart good to paint them! Also, working with the palette knife is a welcome change. I have been so tight lately with my work. I mentioned the other day how it feels like something is trying to emerge. . .it's a little painful! This helps! And, too, I think working with the knife might just be part of the process of this movement trying to take place.
