It's funny, I just finished this painting of a beach scene yesterday and Heather puts up a night beach scene the same day I put this one up. This is one of the pallette knife paintings I'm doing for the show in june. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Is this sunrise or sunset? I can never tell unless I know the location, I would guess a sunset. Colors are very nice and rich, and palette knife work is well done. This is the most abstract/impressionistic work I have seen you do. |

Thank you Jess and Heather,
It's fun and it is very impressionistic for me. I like
the way they come out and I just hope I can do enough
of them for the show.
Thanks again,
Jim

| Ah yes... Nice and thick like frosting. Very interesting, makes me want to look at it up close. I've stood at the DIA and looked close up at a couple van Gogh's, surveying them like a relief map. Wonderful Jim, very well done. |

Hi Leon and Jim,
Thanks guys for the comments.
Leon, It's a lot of fun using the knife for painting. You can achieve some great blending and mixing just using
the knife. Plus you get some amazing textures.
Jim, funny you mentioned Van Gogh, I was thinking about some of his flower paintings and I know he used brushes, but I wondered how they would look with a knife.

Jim,
I think Van Gogh's work would look great done in palette knife, just my two cents here. |

theres a quote, about Van Gogh, in 1888 in Arles, stating he painted nearly 200 hundred paintings that year....and used? "a pigment loaded palette knife".....so ya see? he did!...but its truly no wonder when you see his paintings!....
i once read a quote that stated, he squirted his tube color sometimes, directly onto the canvas! eeeek!
loverly color filled scene jim!...i like the way the deep blue of the sky seems to be either receding or approaching....i too am not sure about it being a sunrise or sunset....but i know it captures a beautiful time of day!

Hi Heather,
I agree. I think I'll pull out the Van Gogh book and see about doing one this weekend and
see how it comes out.

| Jim, I would agree, I was thinking Starry Night is that the name of it? That Van Gogh did? Then I saw everyone else saying the same thing! Your active these days! Good for you. |

| I was thinking about what Heather said about whether its a sunset or sunrise, you know I used to feel that way too, but now they both seem the same to me, because I get sunrises in Jersey, but in Florida, in Tampa area, I get sunrises on the bay at my home, and sunsets on the Gulf when I go to the beach, and they feel so much alike that until Heather said that I didn't realize that the sun in a painting would suggest a location... I know I am babbling, but this amazed me when it hit, I know get a life... |

Hi Anna,
You've got a life! And no I don't think you are babbling. Your question has been pondered by many
and will continue to be pondered by many more. These thoughts come to creative and insightful
people.
