If these items were crystals I would title the painting Aventurine, amethyst, and citrine. I don't know why I ended up with the crazy color vibrations that I did, perhaps the stones were guiding me.
I had a lot of fun using a variety of palette knives to create this oil painting. I worked from dark to light on a prepared panel. My favorite part is the lilac petals!
Going through all of my 2015 paintings and discovered this! I tend to forget about my oil paintings as I keep them in the barn. This painting has a new year feel to it!
Lately I have been experimenting with reverse glass painting. This is a still life painted in oil. I have discovered that the foreground must be painted first!
