I was painting at Wildwood Wetlands on Wednesday with our group, the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters, to try to get the yellow lotus and purple loosestrife before they make their exit for the year. I tried another palette knife piece, a little larger this time. I'd like to go even larger, but don't know about how to handle the amount of paint I would have to put out. A lot of interested people stop to talk, and acrylics can dry on you fast, especially when there is a breeze. I've tried using the wet palette, but that can liquify my paint and I want the full body consistency for the knife work.

Pat, this is just incredible. I love the planes of color in the painting, and the way they guide you right through the scene. This is a wonderful piece!
Very nice! so loose and colorful!
Thank you, Claire and Nancy. I really appreciate your comments.
Pat, I find this piece absolutely gorgeous! You always leave me awed.
I love your use of the palette knife. I have a hard time getting my paint very thick on my paintings, so maybe I should use the palette knife more often. Love the beautiful colors!
Thanks, Autumn for your wonderful remarks.
Do try the knife, Carol. I have tried both acrylic and oil with the knife, and can truly say I do like working with the oil much better.
Pat, I was so glad to have stumbled upon your blog and your work. This one caught my eye, I love the texture and the reflections in the water!
