This is a palette knife painting of a photo of Pine St. in downtown Seatte at night.
It's 16 X 24 oil on masonite. There's a little glare, but basically it's what you see.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Jim

Nice painting Jim.  The colors and feeling remind me of Van Gogh.

| Jim, very vibrant rich colors. I like it! The only thing I would suggest is that the foregound near bottom of canvas could use some darker values to emphasize the distance of the sidewalk and road, a light glaze would do it. Just a suggestion. |

| As the painting was coming up on my monitor I too was thinking of Van Gogh. Great going that Jess too thought the same thing, being compare to Van Gogh is not a bad thing. This is rich and I bet you loved moving the paint around with the palette knife on the board. I have not tried the masonite board yet, do you like it? scochran |

Hi Shana,
Thanks for taking a look too, and also the comparison. I like the masonite for these kind of paintings
because it really soaks up the oil and drys very quickly. It's nice when you put on a lot of paint with the palette knife. It is a fun way to paint.

| Jim, the colors you used make it look exactly the way a city looks lit up at night. I, too, am reminded of Van Gogh. Jodi |

Damn Jimbo! I was flitting though and figured I'd go back over some of the time I was away from the forum. Good God man...! This is beautiful and yes it SMAKS of van Gogh. A modern van Gogh that he may have painted today. He called himself a colorist and these were his favorite colors. OK I won't indulge my OCD problem about van Gogh.
Beautifully done! |

| This is beautiful Jim. I had to reread what you wrote, because I couldn't figure out at first why you were posting an image of what looked like a Van Gogh painting. I think we all thought that immediately. Beautiful work. |

Thank you very much Naomi!
That is quite a compliment. The palette knife paintings have been a lot of fun.
I'll have to get back to doing some more. Haven't seen you around for awhile.
Glad to see you back.
