Biding My Time

Palette Knife Practice
8 X 10
Oil on Hardboard

Animated wall clock in school classroomIt is so interesting how we as painters can go from producing respectable art day after day and then come to a skidding halt.  I have found that to be the case this week.  Maybe it was Easter holiday (holidays can be difficult after a significant loss) or the fact that I ate too many sweets that affect my mood.  Anyway I am biding my time and waiting it out.  



 I bought an on-line e-book on palette knife painting and after three attempts and three wipe off's, I had this huge pile of olive green paint.  So I decided to just practice applying paint with the knife.  After I was done, I looked at it and decided I kind of liked it!  I am not usually a fan of abstract art, but I find this intriguing.  Maybe it's just because I painted it!! Ha!



There is a great Groupon deal for Jerry's Artorama.  You can get a great discount on your order.  Plus if you spend enough you can get free shipping.  Just remember to put the code for Groupon in the "Gift Certificate" box.

Here is how it might look framed.

Hope you all are having a great week!

  1. Hey Karla,I think you've hit upon a lovely style of abstract work,this to me looks like crystals forming ,rather like when ideas build in your mind before you paint them.
    I know how you feel,originally I was taking time out to do catch up but I also find myself in a burn out situation.
