Palette Knife Series
28x26 Oil on Canvas

I used a free flowing palette knife, working from black one tone at a time. The paint was applied wet on wet and very thick for an abstract feel.

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.

My mother following her passion while I follow mine. This is early in my palette knife series experimenting with flat brush work to draw the eye into the area of focus while using a free-flowing palette knife to build the rest of the image.
