"Rocky Cliffs" Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

Love the contrasts in this painting of smooth and gentle with dark and rocky. The colors, and the water, speak to me and I just find it so fresh. I thought it would be interesting to paint it on this horizontal format to try and achieve more of a vastness in the scale.

"Island Living" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

After a few weeks of not painting with oils or my palette knife, I decided I needed to see what was happening. I knew it had to be an image that I felt passionately about, so water was a must. And maybe the warmth this photo illuminated appealed to me too since we've had literally weeks of below zero weather this winter. There's a story this painting creates for me--could be an escape into warmth!
