Lovely, nice blend of color and the paint has a good 3d look to it.

This was my first attempt at oil painting with a knife. As the work was not visible due to a technical issue (i had a + sign in the title!), I have once again submitted it with original text. “The sky was painted four times, the grass and scowthistles also had that many attempts or more. Frustration many a time but at the end, I really found that painting with a knife is far better, more challenging and more fun, than with a brush. This 17" x 21" oil on canvas, is my favourite out of all my artworks as it brings alive the whole field. It has a certain 3D effect and the ambience is divine............................ earlier was in another portfolio which I have closed down, on this site.
