Happy New Years! Since it is a bitter cold day here in Chicago thought that a spring painting might add some warmth-I think tomorrow will be a scene from the US VIrgin Islands. I don't do a lot of still lifes but they can be a diversion from other compositions. I enjoy being able to add a splash of color to invoke the flower as well as attempting to capture light dancing on a glass vase. The background and table were both done with palette knife while the flower and vase utilized a brush. You can see the difference in texture and paint applications. I do enjoy some of the capacity one has in the use of the palette knife-especially in the clean-up-much faster.
