Hey Jala you made my day. This is a palette knife painting, my favorite tool to paint with. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking myself way to serious I just need to paint something out of my comfort zone.
Painting is a passion similar to someone motivated to throw a perfect fast ball or win a marathon. It takes some natural abilities and a whole lot of work and determination to get it just right.
My inspiration to paint is from the beauty I see in my day to day life. Sometimes that amazing beauty is discovered in a simple bin of onions purchased from a farmers market, or the inspiration is found traveling through the southwest, beachcombing on the Jersey shore, or exploring through Spain. Regardless of where I am, there is always something wonderful to paint. As a result my paintings are mostly created ‘en plein air’meaning, on site and from direct observation, not from a photograph. During very cold winter months I will take my smaller plein air paintings and use several to create a larger piece. The common relationship shared between my plein air and studio paintings is that they were inspired from the simple beauty of our lives.
I feel quite blessed to have a loving family who overlooks my messiness while I am absorbed in a painting and on a quest to make one stunning piece of art.

I love these, and I love the size of them!!
yeah, I think they're fun "bitty bites" nice to add a bit of spark to a forgotten corner.
Your label says knife painting. This is a knife painting? Then you are a wizard. It's marvelous, looks very edible.
