BIG BLUE HORSE - Palette Knife

It has been over a week since I posted. Sorry...

I spent the last 7 days (12 +hrs per day) at the Raleigh Horse Hunt Complex running a horse show. Days were long and very HOT, but all involved had a BLAST being there. With all these hours away from my home, I did not have time to get into my studio - "much'. This boy was created over a period of several semi-sleepless nights. I think this one was my first one on a canvas that was 2" deep. It really make a statement on the wall!

PINK DAISY FLOWERS- KNIFE PAINTING

I had a really rough night last night. One of my kitties did not feel good and the other walked around crying because of thunderstorms. He is a big boy, but is absolutely petrified of thunderstorms. Kind of strange, considering that he was feral for about 3 -4 years.

This is a little beauty that I created in the middle of he night. the inspiration for this palette knife painting was a bunch of African Daisies that my hubby planted this spring (see the photo below). I really need to take more photos of our backyard. it looks awesome with all the flowers and bushes in bloom. Unlike me, my husband does have a green thumb!

I painted this leaf couple of weeks ago. It's more loose and more abstract than the others. Originally, I was not totally sure about it, but it has grown on me since.

Stretched Thin...

Last couple of weeks have been really crazy...I think I have way to many commitments on my plate and don't have the time to even think about starting a painting... Last week I spent about 12+ hours in the car either transporting rescued cats or going to care for the cats...I am stretched so thin that I my body is starting to tell me to back off - Today, I am planning to take it easy and take care of my self.. Time to make some tea!!!

It's fall

In a last few days, I collected a few uniquely colored leaves - here is one of the red ones I picked up in a parking lot at work. Originally I started this painting with brushes, but sometime midstream, I switched to the palette knife.
