"Just Because" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I love this softer color palette with the bright pops of orange. For this painting I used a very limited palette of five colors and white: cadmium yellow medium and light, sap green, alizarin crimson, and cerulean. It makes for such nice color harmony.

Continue to enjoy painting the flower bouquets using my palette knives. They require a LOT of paint on these larger canvases (although this particular one isn't too large) to get that thickness and those great knife marks. Enjoy!

"Bittersweet Bouquet" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

The seasons are changing right before my eyes! As always I am reluctant to say good-bye to summer. One perk to ease my pain is that the trees are already in full color change here in Southern Wisconsin. This painting is my attempt at embracing fall--this being the first day of October and all. :)

"Fresh Flowers" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

I so enjoyed painting the last flower bouquet, and thought I'd like to try another in a square format. This painting gave me a lot of trouble for some reason! I did a lot of scraping and moving things around and finally got things the way I wanted. The painting has a lot of great texture with the knife, and kind of a fall feel. Love the leaves too, and in the end am very happy with it.

"Flower Bouquet" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

This painting feels like a culmination of all of the different things I have been working on. It's done with palette knife, but finally has the looseness I have been wanting. This larger scale allows for that I think. I so enjoyed myself while painting this!
