Another work in progress that will probably never be finished

Heres a new painting I started this morning..another oil on canvas panel done only with a palette knife. I love the textures and colors but I realized this is not my favorite kind of paintings to do. I think they look childish and ordinary. I will most likely wipe these off and do some kind of abstracts instead this week.

I want to create work that really “pops” and makes you keep looking, finding new interesting things to see in every part of the painting (sorry not so good at explaining what I mean LOL) Anyway here is the new one and the one from the other day with some more work done to it. You can see the previous post to see what the 2nd one looked like before.

This may be my last post until after the New Year so I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and fun and safe New Year. Happy Holidays!!

 

Work in progress

This is what I started today. Its an oil painting I’m trying to paint with only a palette knife… Not so bad until I get to the details and then its a pain in the a**

The wooden posts dont look that great yet and still need to work on the water…have to try making the reflections without making it look all muddy and gross. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow…

Oh and this is a small canvas, 6×12 I think. Didnt want to start big since its been so long since I’ve painted with oils
