I have been fascinated with the palette knife and while I paint my recent rquested commission for three pigs for a rancher in Texas, I will add another plein air landscape called "Chance of Rain". There is something magical about working with the palette knife and a thick helping of paint. Fall is here on our little Sutter Creek ranch in the foothills . The old oaks are dropping acorns and and dusting the pasture with leaves. It is a lovely time of year and makes for, "A Painting Day".

Love love love this...the colors, the simplicity, the directness.. very cool!
I can tell you're having fun with the palette knife! The thick texture of the paint and the way the colors merge together is wonderful. The blue is such a nice touch and really makes it feel as if the water is running down the hillside and seeping out of the soil.
That turquoise is yummy!! Love this!!
