Lately, I have been frustrated fighting with my paintbrush, so, I tried the palette knife a few times.  It is nice to have an option when you are battling fatigue and burnout.  I think I need to go on a photo shoot in the hopes that I can get excited about painting again.  I have had this happen before and I know the cure.

Love those great thick paint strokes.You handle that knife really well! I know what you mean about needing a change...I love those new photo shoots and the excitement of going back home to find out what cool things you captured. Sometimes I think the picture taking is more fun than the picture painting! (Did I say that??? hmmm)

Oh my gosh...you too? I am exhausted internally.
The colors in this painting are refreshing and I like the use of the palette knife. Very tactile.

Beautiful! I like using the knife too, it reminds me that I don't always need to be so precious with my painting. Great job with this one!
