SOLD - acrylic knife painting



THis is "Black Wave", where the waves really did appear black, the sand was not black either... it was after a huge storm, I have not seen it like this either before or since, despite 20 years living at this place... I loved the challenge of the gorgeous shine and reflection too...

42nd St Completed and sold

Completed using a knife, my favourite painting tool, this was a commissioned painting. I think I am improving! this was my second painting of this scene, with a different crop.
I worked hard to create harmony and rythym with the colour balance.

SOLD


another one sold this month, a painting using my own unique "Pastel Palette", pastel in colour not medium, this one is created using a painting knife and acrylic.

This painting show my favourite wildflower, a beach daisy with incredibly intense purple petals and bright yellow centre. Accompanied by it's sister version daisy, a bright yellow with yellow centre.
