I am ready!

I've painted all week and I am very excited to finally start creating new pieces. This is the first one, oil 12 x 12.

I did this all with a palette knife which is what I have used for the last few years. I love using a knife for several reasons such as being able to lay down pure color and mixing it directly on the canvas. It feels as if I am part of a 3 dimensional landscape, layering color upon color, almost like sculpting, although the knife work in many areas is hardly discernable.
