30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day #16...wow!

"Daylilies"
9" x 12"
palette knife oil on gessoboard
(click on this one, you have to see the heavy impasto)

OK, I have done my 'palette knife painting
for this '30 in 30'...it was
challenging!  
BUT - I like that there are no brushes to
clean at the end of the day.  AND I like how it is not as exacting - actually 'freeing' - with the strokes made by the knife, or in this case, 'knives'.
HOWEVER, this technique uses lots of paint! 

It caught some light/shine from above lighting in the 
top right corner during photo session.
It will take a long time to dry.  
But that's OK! The more I look at it, the more I like it.

How I love these daylilies!!! They are such a true sign of summer. You have done a beautiful job with these, and with all of the paintings you have done so far for the challenge, Pattie!

Art Still GOING On

(I've been really neglectful of this space. Yikes!)   This summer we planted TREES on our property - spent so much time caring for them,...
