"Spirit Flowers" by Lynda Cookson

Painting no. 17 of 30 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

"Spirit Flowers"
Black Ink on Paper
5.5" x 7.5" (14 cm x 19 cm)

You may often wonder why you see paintings other than palette knife paintings on this website. The members of the Palette Knife Painters group all paint using palette knives most of the time ... but to keep our work fresh, and to keep ourselves fresh, some of us also work in other mediums using other tools as well. I hope you enjoy all that you see.

Another in my series of city scenes. This one of Boylston Street in the Back Bay area of Boston. I like the juxtaposition of the old and new architecture that makes Boston so unique. I had fun adding dabs of people walking by and eating at the restaurant in the bottom left corner. 

Artist Natasa Vretenar has asked in a previous post if I could share what type of palette knives I use. I mostly use these detail knives I purchased through Dick Blick. They have soft, rubber handles and are great for making a variety of marks. And they are the same ones that appear on the page from their Fall 2010 catalog where my painting is featured. I think it would be interesting to hear about what types of knives other palette knife artists use.
