Rail Crossing by Janice Tingum - original oil painting

Rail Crossing

by Janice Tingum

8" x 8

 Oil on 7/8" deep cradled panel

The rural landscape often reminds me of a patchwork quilt, stitched together by country roads, tree shelterbelts, and the occasional railroad line. I like using a palette knife because of the rich texture and color it produces on the smooth panel. This original oil painting is done in an American impressionistic style and is available in my Etsy shop.

Why paint with a palette knife?

 

Reason #3: Painting with a palette knife keeps me from getting too bogged down in details. My goal in landscape painting is to convey a sense of the place, rather than create a detailed replica of it. I look for the main idea that makes the scene remarkable.
