The Channel Lighthouse painting was created out of my imagination using oils and a palette knife for all of the work except for the impressionistic birds and my signature done with a liner brush. The canvas is a 10 x 8 inch gallery wrap with edges painted.
I really enjoyed getting to use the palette knife mixing and spreading the paint like mayo on a sandwich. Only one medium knife with a pointed end was used. Blending the colors is so magical in this type of painting. I was not going for perfection, but more for effect and keep the texture in harmony with the objects in the painting. Notice the horizontal strokes seen in the water, dabs to create clouds, blends in the background sky, and edge work of the knife to make the house and rock foundation.
Although this painting was a simple composition, it fun to paint with the palette knife again and I enjoyed the work. I hope you find it interesting and easy on the eye.
