Working more fluidly now than when I began this Series, I've reduced the blending of tones and allowed more of the wet undercoat to come through giving this piece more vibrancy than with previous attempts. The scene is from a visit to the Bahamas on the northern coast of Nassau. SOLD

Another late evening in Prospect, NS. This is a rare breakaway piece in my beach-house series gambling with traditional plein-air landscape. Working only with the palette knife I try to develop rich points of color and capture a nostalgic feel for this familiar cove. SOLD

These rocks are on the coast of Nova Scotia where I live and go for miles. Working only with the palette knife, I'm trying to capture the feel of the ocean on a sunny day by using a bright yellow undertone. SOLD

Palette Knife Series

36x26 Oil on Canvas

Daniel Cormier

A popular hang out and favorite study spot was the focus of this piece in my palette knife series. Working playfully I allowed the paint to mix on the canvas giving an overall rough angular feel. I chose to build the canvas in 3 panels (connected triptic) with a custom frame to compliment the wall of glass windows on the south side of the actual cafe itself which makes this piece very unique.

Often times I experiment with different brush styles to achieve something new in my studies. I painted these apples with a method used by the impressionists to create flow by employing directional brush strokes all over the canvas.

I came back to painting from a very long break and was re-discovering the joy i find in working with simple techniques and found objects. This is my wife's favorite painting.
