Palette Knife Still Life

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 16 X 12 inch canvas

I've been thinking about painting using palette knives rather than brushes. I finally tried it and this is the result.

This was a lot of fun. Since I'm not skilled with the knives it forced me to paint in a very loose style, so the result is more abstract. I also chose to use bolder colors. This photo was taken while some of the paint was still wet, so some of the colors will dry darker.
