Pot of Purple a palette knife painting by Peg Whitacre

When first begun there were only  a few flowers in the old tin pot.  It didn't look right so I simply added more flowers than I actually had.  Funny how an idea can be stretched up, down and sideways to make said idea to come out looking pleasing (at least to the painter's eye!).  But that's what happened here and the palette knife really allows so much paint and texture.  People love to touch these paintings and I encourage them to do so.  A nice change from smoother brush or knife work.  This 6x8 painting is looking pretty in a soft gold frame and is ready for a new home.  Enjoy!
