Sittin' Pretty

Generally, I tend to paint rather thinly, so for this painting I wanted to experiment with using a palette knife to apply rich, thick strokes of paint.  I chose the brick and the old wooden shelf as a setting, feeling they would lend themselves to knife painting.  I had fun with the knife, and I think the brick looks really solid.  Maybe I'll try incorporating palette knife use a little bit more in the future.  I like the color harmonies in this little piece, too.

  2. Beautiful - it reminds me of a Chardin with texture. A very high complement.
