Man with Fishing Net

Lovely colour and rich texture Abraham - I've just started using a palette knife, really enjoyed it and the painting is turning out better than I hoped - but it uses such a lot of paint compared to more traditional brush style and drying time is somewhat longer. You could title it "Fisherman" or "No fish today" (because I can't see any) or simply "fishing net" or "waiting for the fish" "here's hoping" "fishing for supper".....the list is endless. Nevertheless, it's the painting that counts and you've caught a good one!

Thank you Pat for your kind comments and the excellent suggestions. I like the one "no fish today". I would love to see your palette knife works. Any links?

If you browse the portfolios and enter 2011 OILS or just OILS, my paintings should come up probably with a painting of tulips. There are only a few paintings on the portfolio because I haven't been painting in oils very long. I used to do watercolours, but I prefer oils now because I'm a less nervous painer when I know I can later overpaint!! I'll upload the palette knife painting (it's of silver birch trees) when I finish it this weekend.

Another lovely piece. I really like your rendering of the waves, and as usual, your palette is beautiful.

I agree with Pat and Seok, lovely painting

Thank you Seok and Petra for your kind comments.
