French Cafe Scene Avignon Palette Knife Painting by Noosa Artist Chris Hobel

12x12" oil on wrapped canvas

Ive added more highlights and used some Red Gold plus White for this.A Lover of colour, Ive pushed the brights. My new camera  is 14 mega pixels but I preferred the colour from my old camera, this one seems to burn out the lights and I have to  do extra processing to try to portray the real thing.

Not a single brush stroke except for the signature

is a place I long to visit, the Kimberleys in North Western Australia, I used a lot of thick paint applied with the palette knife to create the texture on the rocks, which is my usual signature and layers of transparent glazes to add depth. The secret to creating harmony in a painting is to always think about complementary colours, orange and blue in this case. Ive been told by those who have visited this place that it really looks like it.
