Next in the series: a yellow rose. I began this one as I had the other three but it went south - I lost my value range. Argh! Second time: same thing. The third time I picked up the palette knife and tried very quickly to block in the values. For each attempt I had been squinting and very conscious of value and colour shifts, but for some reason this one threw me on my backside ; ) 6" x 6" / oil on panel / SOLD
Some paintings are born to give us painters a hard time, but the end result on this one looks like it would be worth it. I LOVE the texture you built - every stroke looks just right. It's one of those paintings you just want to touch.
I don't know why sometimes paint just flows onto the canvas and other times it's a wrestling match! You wrestled this one into submission, Kim. I like it!

I like this one best now! Gorgeous outside soft edges and the inside center- wonderful! Great job. Yellow roses are special:)
I love this one! It's really beautiful.
I like it. The pallet knife is making for some SWEET texture.
The thick strokes Kim enhances regardless of you limited values - I love it!
Well ya did the right thing by slappin' on the paint with the palette knife, because that's what I love about it. ;)
you don't like it? I think it is great! it has a sculptural quality
I love the texture too. And the use of yellow is great, such a hard color to get right.
Really nice Kim.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! The subtle shifts in values are so great. You really inspire me to try some palette knife work.
Wow, just love this painting Kim!
