Bamboo - Blue Light



"Blue Light"

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board, Painted with Palette Knife

Available


I still have bamboos in my thoughts, so I painted a smaller version. When I paint with the palette knife I am a lot more loose (that sounds weird) and almost abstract. I know what it is...I just wonder if it conveys.

Bamboo Forest and Love

Do you tone your canvases before you paint? I do. With a mixture of burnt sienna and alizarin crimson. But I was feeling this tremendous joy when I started to smudge the paints onto the canvas that I thought - what if I fill my paintings with love. So I left a large Japanese character for Love on the canvas...And below is a very abstract painting filled with Love.
