Acrylic on board 16cm x 16cm
Palette knife
Another thick and luscious palette knife escapade. So much fun! Can't believe there is only one more painting to go! Yay!
I painted this in the morning before meeting a friend for a delicious lunch at the Bluewater Grill at Heathcote. Haven't been there for a while and had almost forgotten how beautiful the views over the river are. We sat outside and were slightly broiled even in the shade, It felt a lot hotter than the forecast 35C but the views were too beautiful to consider moving inside for the air-conditioning.
I really like the effect you've achieved with the palette knife Wendy. Congratulations to you for sticking with the challenge and using it as an opportunity to experiment and try new things. The skyscape is uplifting! By the sounds of it your lunch date was a lovely reward after getting the job done first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sally! Yes, I have really enjoyed using the challenge as an opportunity to experiment. Forces me to not be precious about outcomes which is very freeing.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy. Love the stripy umbrella. 35C! Are you kidding??? It's blowing a gale with torrential rain over here...
ReplyDeleteOh, you poor thing Mike - I hope you haven't had any flooding? Am just about to pop over to your blog to see for myself!
ReplyDeleteIt was still 35C here at 8pm! No sea-breeze today to take the edge off a hot summer's day.
I like the thickness of the paint. It makes the clouds look so real.
ReplyDeleteLove your clouds! The photos were definitely inspiring! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful clouds!!! Looks like a wonderful place to have lunch.
