I worked on 4 paintings today, including the 3 small portraits in this photograph.  Recently, I wrote about breaking my palette knife again<\/a>.  My favorite knife is (was) marketed as a painting knife, although I rarely used it for that purpose.  But I painted with a knife today.  I finished Garth in a Yankees Cap<\/em> with a palette knife.  The shirt front is done with the knife.  I used to paint with the knife a lot and I had fun today, but it won’t be a regular thing.<\/p>\n

By the way, I didn’t break the knife by painting with it.  It broke it while I was mixing paint.<\/p>\n

This photo is not wonderful, eh?  It’s winter here now and by late afternoon the light is dim, especially on an overcast day like today.  I have natural light bulbs (a lot of them) so I can paint at night and during the long winter hours, but the colors look off when photographed.  So I used natural light for this photo, gloomy as it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
