Here are a couple of knife paintings from the Moab trip Rhonda and I took in October. We love the hike up to Delicate Arch and even though we have done it a number of times over the years it is always fun. Here are a couple of paintings I made after the hike I really need to haul my paint box up there and give it a plein air attempt although I am not sure how environmentally friendly oil paint and solvent is on that slick rock. I would need to be extra careful.
I find that there is something quite seductive about how thick oil paint behaves on a palette knife. I love the way it lets me create patches of color. The only problem is it took these two paintings three weeks to dry enough for me to safely photograph them!
