Medium:
Oils.
Style:
Palette
knife landscapes.
Technique:
I have used watercolors, pastels, acrylics, pencil, and pen &
ink in the past. But, 3 years ago I picked up the palette knife
and I have been using it ever since.
Inspiration:
Monet has been an inspiration. Art, in general, and Hawaii's dramatic
landscapes are inspirations as well. .
Philosophy:
As with the impressionists, this technique encourages the viewers
eye to wander through the thickly textured passages and visually
blend the colors. Communicating what I see and feel through the
use of canvas and color remains an exciting adventure for me.
