Another fish painting. Don't ask what kind of fish it is, I don't know.<br />
<br />
I do know I am enjoying these palette knife paintings immensely. I have been so intense about my brush work, that I had ignored the palette knife for months. Now that I am working with it again, I am enjoying the freedom it brings.<br />

I used both brush and palette knife on this one. I like the contrast of texture achieved in this way. <br />

The birds ignored me and my camera, knowing they could move much faster then I can.<br />

This was my third attempt to paint this fellow. I had difficulty getting the drawing correct, as well as the color. The image I worked from was not exciting. Eventually, I think I worked it out.<br />

I found these guys on the beach....actually they were two of about 50. If you know your terns, you know they arrive in large flocks. The flock acts as one unit and is so much fun to watch. They swoop down on the beach, each one of them looking in the same direction. If you get too close, they move a few steps in unison, always moving and looking as one.<br />

It started with a ride through the valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, where I found several horses grazing. The buckskin was particularly friendly, coming up to the fence to great us and posing for several photographs.<br />

I found it difficult to mix the correct color of this animal, but finally was happy with the results. I used a palette knife in the background of this small oil painting, to create the texture of the grasses in the meadow.<br />

That is what hooked me on this image. It's not not the subject matter at all. It could be the beautiful colors of a sunset, the light on a wave, the turn of a leaf......something that appeals to me. Today it's those eyes.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear why you paint, what you paint.<br />
<br />

Of course, we were surrounded by birds. <br />
<br />
I was inspired by this pelican, hunkered down on a piling.<br />

I realized that many of the paintings, that give me the most joy, are birds. I am committed to painting more of them. <br />
<br />
The biggest block is getting good photos to work from.<br />
<br />
I want to share some of my other photos from this trip to Pt. Canaveral.<br />

I painted with palette knife and brush and tried to get lots of texture in it. I liked the rugged feel. I have never been on the moors, but I think they would feel rugged and cold and windy.<br />

Here Elio met a challenge to paint without darks. He often states a painting should bring it's own light. I think this one meets that requirement<br />

Elio spent a year painting blue studies, then moved on and studied yellows and reds. He likes to set up still life, to challenge his students, all in a single color. He believes red is the most difficult color to paint. If you can do a red painting, you can really see color. This is a 20 minute demo he did for us one day.<br />

One last classic Elio demo that he painted in about 15 minutes, out of his head. I almost cried when he scrapped it off the next morning.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, we are excited to return for his next Florida workshop in the spring. You can find his <a href="http://www.colorrelations.com/">workshop schedule here.</a><br />

I used both brush and palette knife on this one. I like the contrast of texture achieved in this way. <br />
<br />
The birds ignored me and my camera, knowing they could move much faster then I can.<br />

The original painting has sold, but today, I am offering prints for sale at 8x10" and 11x14". There is a tiny cropping problem on the lower left of these prints(not visible in this image),,,,nothing that will show when it is framed, but it is there. So, I have priced these two prints with a $10.00 discount.<br />
<br />
If you follow the link, under the image, you will find the original Etsy listing including an image of the lower left corner.<br />
<br />
The print is on textured archival watercolor paper and perfect other than this tiny issue.<br />

Kitty loves to interact with us, jumping in the middle of our paintings, climbing into our art bags, doing her cat thing. Usually mid morning, she climbs into her favorite sleeping place....an artist browser. For those of you who don't know, it is a canvas sling, much like a hammock. That is where I snapped a photo of her, which of course, woke her up. <br />
