Tropical Paradise Palette Knife Painting By Daily Painter Noosa Artist Chris Hobel

New Years Resolution to blog more frequently starts right now. Im still into colour  texture and palette knife painting. I finished this one before Christmas , love the colours, a reflection if my  subtropical garden. Its for sale  as well as priints on Fine Art America. I painted it from the computer monitor, colours are much better

I blocked in the background colours with a brush to eliminate white spots showing through, prior to using the palette knife. The composition had to be modified as it looked too cluttered once the thick paint was added.
The fronds seem to be dancing or chatting in the breeze
