12 x 9"oil on masonite
I think some of my personal favorite paintings are these new pieces - I used a combination of brushwork and palette knife - and seems to add just the right amount of texture and bump up the illumination. It's tough, to stay in control - moving the paint around, coaxing it to just where I want it. The more I do it, the more control I have. In person, you can really see the impact.
This new painting, a woman resting on a bench on the upper floor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be arriving at the Howard/Mandville Gallery by the end of July.

This is another painting that is so expressive. My eye is immediately drawn in and I enjoy looking at your painterly brush strokes. I wish I could see it in person.
ReplyDeleteI really like your use of a palette knife in this one. Nice texture.
ReplyDeleteI don't use a palette knife often but just finished a painting today where I used one to help in a spot I was struggling with. Your comment was pretty timely for me.
Look forwad to seeing more!
Your light is just so wonderful. I could look at your stuff for hours (and sometimes do).
ReplyDeleteWonderful Karin!
ReplyDeleteA lovely painting, I particularly like the light on the back of her arm!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
What a lovely piece! I find myself wishing I was her right about now. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like the dark of the seat carrying on through the dress.
