<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em;">There's something so romantic about leaving parts of yourself behind - little footprints of yourself in a busy world. When I think about my paintings hanging on the walls all over the country and some parts of the world, I get a little smile inside just knowing that I'm there; I made an imprint or impression in someone's life. Maybe my painting was the topic of a conversation or an ice breaker for someone's first date, maybe it brought up a memory at a family dinner. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last weekend it was the Masters.

I watched in amazement as his score continued to go down. On the 18th green, during the final round, he found himself surrounded by a sea of people.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I noticed the colors, the people, the course, and something about it grabbed the artist in me. So I set up a canvas, got my paints out, and went to town. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_17_2_4_1429997974929_2605" style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got lost in the piece and didn't know until I was finished that I painted until 5a. I had work that morning (in just a few short hours) but I didn't care. It felt amazing to get lost in it. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_17_2_4_1429997974929_2646" style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes it's an image that inspires me to paint. Sometimes it's a feeling. Sometimes I force myself to paint when I really am not feeling it and then 1/2 way through, I connect with the piece. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_17_2_4_1429997974929_2644" style="line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mostly, I just paint because I love creating something with my hands, that I can leave behind, and make imprints in the lives of others. When I am long gone, my work will still be here and I guess that makes me feel like a part of me will still be here too. </span></div>

Art classes are so much fun! It makes me giggle when we start classes and everyone is quiet and a bit reserved. I don't know if it's the music, or the fear of jumping into a deep pool of creativity that mellows everyone out but it happens every time.<br />

It turned out pretty great. I'm happy with it. I really love the muted colors and I enjoy LDS art that isn't so cookie-cutter. Deseret Book style is great for some but for me I want some texture. I know - I know, I'm always on my soapbox about texture but I just can't help myself. :)</div>

It's large globs of painting in bright neon colors in a abstract format. I've decided to release a new series in this similar style entitled "buds". <br />
<br />
"Mint & Tangerine" was created using similar technique and style. Large buds of impasto color in turquoise, gray, white, tangerine, orange, mint.<br />
<br />
I imagine this hanging in a modern family room or child's bedroom. The great thug about this style of painting is that it works for girls bedroom art, boys bedroom art, common area art. <br />
<br />
I'm interested in trying this style in several color palettes. If your interested in custom palette knife paintings, please message me for an order. <br />

I never thought I'd be one to paint a painting to match my sofa or room colors but I'm sort of obsessed with charcoal gray, black, cream and mint green color palettes right now and I have yet to find a painting in these colors that catches my eye so I figured why not see what I could come up with.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It always makes me laugh when I hear people say âI could
never do that or I wish I could paint like thatâ. I didn't magically pick up a
palette knife one day and just start creating masterpieces - ok, I may never create masterpieces but I work at it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remember in the
original Karate Kid when Mr. Miyagi teaches the super skinny heart throb Danny
Russo (I still donât understand that one but whatever â swoon away 80âs girls)
how to catch a fly with chopsticks?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is not how painting has ever been for me. Iâm not some
prodigy⌠I work my monkey butt off. I try and fail and try again. I study,
sketch, research constantly. Itâs probably a bit of a sick obsession as I donât
see everyday objects like a chair in my office as just a chair; I see lines,
dimension, and color. My eyes study the way a shadow changes when you move the
light source around. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I believe if you put your mind to something, you can do it.
It may come easier for some than others but we can all develop artistic talents. Here's some things I've picked up along the way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Palette knife painting tips for beginners:</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pick a photo that you love. Make a photo copy in
black and white to clearly identify the lines in the image.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sketch the image in a light pencil. â This allows
you to erase and get a feel for the painting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once youâre ready to paint, decide the colors
youâd like to use and set your palette up.</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Set up paper towel</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A garbage can</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Leave your paints out so you can remember what
colors you used.</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Additives or mediums aren't necessary but can be
fun to play with. I use acrylic based painters caulk to thicken up my oil paint
and help it dry faster. Mixed Media Impasto paintings are fun!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Select 5 standard knives. I sell Starter Kits for $35 if youâre interested shoot me an email.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Begin applying the paint but donât over analyze
too much. This is the fun of knife painting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step back several times during the process to
see your painting from a distance.</span></li>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've learned that taking a picture of your
painting during the process also helps you see where things need to be added.</span></li>
</ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 9px;"> </span>Paint another one</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Repeat and repeat again</span></li>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-Donât take yourself too seriously. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-Listen to music. It is amazing how different a painting
can look depending on the kind of music you listen to; it helps me âget into
characterâ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't usually start with sketches but in this case I really wanted the temple and architecture to be identifiable. I had really good direction on this commission from my friend. She knew exactly what she wanted which made my job so much easier. For this painting of the LDS Salt Lake Temple, I printed out the image I was using and separated into 8 equal squares for scaling. </span></div>

It's great for color schemes ideas for your home decor and for me, it's awesome to be able to see color next to each other without having to mix it all up first. Check out this little hidden treasure:<br />

<br />
So my most recent painting I wanted to go with a Tangerine & Mint color palette. These colors are so complimentary and really BIG right now.

I've been known to get pretty severe cases come mid-February but this year, I'm jumping the gun and ready for the heat say... now-ish. Since I can't really control the weather I've decided paint it. This new series explores my love of the beauty in springtime -- that can't get here soon enough.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've had some requests for prints of my work and inexpensive options to support my art. While I'm not a fan of prints, I want everyone who's interested in my paintings to be able to enjoy them. Plus, the term "starving artist" isn't too far fetched. I appreciate the support of any admirer and hope this calendar gives those who want to purchase my work an easy and inexpensive option. Please pass this link along they are only available for a limited time!! <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: center;">$23.50 each </span> <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/2012_palette_knife_painting_calendar-158500345152954259" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Click here to purchase</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- T</div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00392593484339702487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624518067288068503.post-86526522824381159272011-10-22T19:56:00.002-06:002012-01-04T12:10:19.576-07:00Abstract Landscape<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>This weekend I've been working on a minimalist approach with the knife. The canvas show-thru is my favorite element of this abstract approach. As I worked on this piece I was a little discouraged by the way it was coming together. Then I took a break and when I came back in the distance is what made this one come together. I'm not sure how the picture will turn out online but I'm really happy with this one in person.<br />

In every aspect of my life the magic happens in the details. It can be a quick "Hello" and smile from a stranger or Lucky Charms in bed with my kids. The bulk of life is pretty mundane for most of us; go for a run, pick up the house, go to work, groceries, fold the laundry, pay the bills etc. But small and simple things make the biggest difference.<br />

The details are those quiet things that speak to each of us. For some of us it's the lighting. For others it's the dynamics of the color palette or the subject or style of a work of art. For me it's all about the texture. I love messy texture. For those of you that read my blog regularly, this isn't surprise.<br />
<br />
I'm a texture junky what can I say?<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Recently, I've been experimenting in the studio with textures and even went back to some older inventory to review textures. I'm loving the way the round knife creates the depth of a flower petal. If you were close enough you could pinch the edges with your fingers. I also love how easy it is to create water with a knife. The reflection and movement of water jumps off the canvas almost effortlessly with a straight edge knife. The puff of a cloud or the gradient in the sky is just a stroke and the direction you hold the knife in your hand. </div><div><br />

After some thought, I realized it's a lot like frosting a cake with really flexible frosting. If you can frost a cake then you can paint with a knife. Give it a try but here's some helpful hints for painting your own palette knife painting:</div><div><br />
</div><div>1. Choose the right size.</div><div>Your going to use A LOT of paint. Start with a small canvas if you don't have a large amount of paint. The bigger the canvas the more paint you're going to use.</div><div><br />
</div><div>2. Variety of knives.</div><div>When you're trying to decide what kind of knife to buy remember to get several different varieties. Rounded edge are great for leafs and flowers. Angled edges are good for straight lines and smaller knives are great for precision and on a smaller canvas. </div><div><br />
</div><div>3. Paper Towels. </div><div>Mix. Load. Apply x 2. Wipe. </div><div>Get a bunch of paper towels. I typically go through 2 - 3 rolls of paper towels per painting. You usually only get 2 - 3 swipes of the knife and then have to wipe off the paint and re-load. Less is more with knife paintings. You'll end up with mud if you keep messing with it. </div><div><br />
</div><div>4. Impasto Gel.</div><div>To stretch the paint and aid the drying process get an impasto gel but make sure you paint in a vented room because it's really smelly. </div><div><br />
</div><div>5. Trust your placement. </div><div>The first placement is usually right. Don't second guess yourself. Study the lines you're trying to create first and then apply the paint. </div><div><br />
</div><div>6. Rock some good tunes. </div><div>Music is a must. Just sayin...</div><div><br />
</div><div>Good luck!!</div><div>If you have any thoughts please leave a comment!<br />
