Winter Storm

So I've been slacking again on adding  recent work to this blog.  Forgive me!

This painting is oil on panel and is 16x20, which is a little larger than I usually

do, but  in  a lot of ways it  was easier than the smaller paintings I work on.  I 

painting almost the entire painting with a palette knife and added certain 

strokes where I felt they were needed with a brush.  I'm kind of liking the

gritty feel that the painting maintains when it is done with a knife as opposed 

to a brush.  I'm going to  continue to explore with both tools and see what  I'm

able to do.  I've titled this painting Winter Storm.  One thing you've got to love 

about  Cache Valley is the amount of barns sitting there just waiting to be

painted!
