"Daisies" by Lynda Cookson
Home and Office Wall Decor (in other words, me and my family team!) are now offering original paintings on our new Etsy Storefront, starting off with Stock Clearance prices. The paintings will be shipped unframed as a further cost saver and shipping is included in the price.
I'm loving trawling through all my images, both photographic and paintings, as I upload them to my various Etsy storefronts ... and, after feeling a little stale for a few months, my fingers are starting to itch again with the anticipation of painting fresh works.
"Daisies" is a medium size, palette knife, oil painting with all the depth and energy you would expect from this medium and technique. Her vibrance speaks for itself :-)
Not shown in the image below, is the monogram signature in the bottom right hand corner of the painting. Here you can see my logo watermark. The original painting has my monogram etched into the paint.

"Big White Flowers" is so fresh and bold. It feels free and full of sunshiny happiness to me.
Just like today ... we have another really beautiful and warm sunny day with clear skies. What ever happened to winter on the coast of Brittany this year I just don't know. I'm sitting here with a cool top on and a thin cardigan, with only one pair of socks to keep my toes warm. Crazy to be so toasty, without a heater on, in what is usually deepest coldest winter.
This painting is immediately downloadable as an image for you to print and you can find it here ... https://www.etsy.com/listing/684216819/big-white-flowers-instant-digital-image?ref=shop_home_active_1
I've also uploaded some room settings for you to see what it'll look like.

"A Branch of Blooms" by Lynda Cookson
This is one from a few years back (sold) where the background was created using very thinned down oils poured and dripped. The flowers and vase are palette knife painted. It still makes me smile :-)

"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.

Vase painting assisted by palette knife by Lynda Cookson
Although the main technique for painting this vase was acrylic pouring, the method is most definitely (by me) assisted by my trusty palette knife which guides the paint into parts I would like it to reach.
This vase is still upside down on my apple cider vinegar bottle as I can't move it until it is at least touch dry.

Abundance, Floral painting by NY artist Celeste Plowde
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

"Freesias in Lilac" by Lynda Cookson
"Freesias in Lilac" has very special meaning for me. Reaching a bit of a low at one stage, my husband came home from a shopping trip one day and presented me with a stunning bouquet of Freesias. His pick-me-up worked wonders and this painting seemed to just create itself on the canvas,
