Poppy Oil Palette Knife Painting demo better later than not at all Poppies in a sunny field

 This the painting I did for the demo .. a few months ago. I seem to have lost the mojo to blog , maybe its because Ive been planning travels to Turkey. Hope to do some sketching for future paintings while amonst all those gorgeous carpets and ceramics and colourful people. Painting in front of strangers was a little daunting, In class its different, I feel Im amongst friends who are supportive of whatever I do.

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

French Street Oil Painting, Daily Painting by Chris Hobel

What i love about oils                  8x8" French Street scene

This week Ive been painting more, I think its the cooler weather plus Ive been  thinking about the  beautiful  old romantic street scenes of italy and france, here is one of them........
Ive been using my box of 8x8" canvases. I just uploaded it on FAA to sell as a print also.  More and more Im enjoying painting with oil rather than acrylic, I just like the feel of them and the flexibility and a big plus is that they dry slowly and dont change colour
