"Lilacs and Blues" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

This is a palette knife oil painting on canvas, a sunset to recall late summer evenings near the Rocky Mountains. Palette knives challenge some painters, but I feel more challenged by brushes, frankly. When using a palette knife to paint (or a painting knife, for that matter), the oil paints just is so reminiscent of butter sliding across a warm piece of toast. It's so much fun! I guess it's more difficult for some people, but to me, this is just the most delightful way to paint true colors.

"Lilacs and Blues", unframed 10"x20" palette knife oil painting, $595 includes s&h in N. America, Paypal preferred, click button below or write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information on this luscious painting -- Thanks for looking!
