This is the second small painting I've done using a palette knife. As in the first, "Reflections," the focus is on texture. Layering on the oil paint in thin slabs was an interesting process that really brought out the shadow cast by this small boat.
This is a painting done with a palette knife instead of a brush, resulting in a very thick application of paint. I love the texture this adds to "Reflections," especially in the waves surrounding the boats.
