This little jewel really packs a punch. Click the image to enlarge it and see the rich surface texture.

Many of my paintings are done with brushes, but sometimes I like to use the palette knife as I did in this piece. The knife is much more immediate, and it is a very responsive tool once you master it.

“Brush strokes” are very crisp and decisive. Colors are placed with a directness that sparkles on the surface. The finished paintings always bring a special freshness to a room.

I used my fingers to do a bit of blending at the finish, and it was done! Hope you like it.
