Many layers of color and quite a stunner I think.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I believe an artist should learn many styles and tools of painting. Some feel they should limit themselves to just brushes or the knife in order to maintain a consistency of style. Many of the great masters of past and present disagree, and so do I. I do think it's a good idea for a beginning artist to paint exclusively with a brush for a time (a period of years perhaps) and then exclusively with a knife for a time. In my case, that period of time painting with a knife has turned into aboout 15 years now. Every now and then I'll use both, but I am in love with this versatile instrument....the palette knife!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I enjoy how the knife completes a painting!&nbsp; Hope you enjoy! </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7842483356221483158-2191184205338671480?l=karensfineart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iBf-8-7t40d2MzN9DeBByLd1BZ4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iBf-8-7t40d2MzN9DeBByLd1BZ4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iBf-8-7t40d2MzN9DeBByLd1BZ4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iBf-8-7t40d2MzN9DeBByLd1BZ4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KarenTarlton/~4/tB20O1KhAcg" height="1" width="1"/>Karen's Fine Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18012946537213598392noreply@blogger.com0http://karensfineart.blogspot.com/2012/02/autumn-landscape-painting-by-karen.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842483356221483158.post-8700074202814553112012-02-06T18:54:00.000-08:002012-02-10T19:39:44.605-08:002012-02-10T19:39:44.605-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Karensfineart" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kloX5JOo6_0/TzCLdgA5_vI/AAAAAAAACG8/8CYjYxp9Svc/s320/eBay+005a.jpg" width="248" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Windswept Angel</div><div style="text-align: center;">11x14</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oil</div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8pDNWkfJi3I/TzCMRHf9vJI/AAAAAAAACHM/XVpA2zO0qxc/s1600/eBay+006a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">9x12</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Holy Cow</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Karensfineart" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8pDNWkfJi3I/TzCMRHf9vJI/AAAAAAAACHM/XVpA2zO0qxc/s320/eBay+006a.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">The cow is now sold! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;">These are two brand new palette knife paintings that I'm fond of.&nbsp; Cows and Angels!&nbsp; She is sort of an angelic cow so I think they go nicely together.&nbsp; I look to nature always for inspiration but find music and imagination are the key.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Painting often takes me on a thoughtful journey.&nbsp; All of life's realities are related. &nbsp; Real beauty lies in all of life's "happy accidents" and little imperfections.
