New artwork for 2024
American Redstart
8 x 8 inches oil on canvas This piece was done using mostly a palette knife with a bit of brush work for the eye and beak. This method helps me loosen up and concentrate on color and shape. The effect is abstract in ways that I cannot seem to get with a brush. Even though the feathers and foliage are not detailed you know they are there and allows the viewer to interpret what they see. |
