Subdued Works of Late






I've been painting extremely slowly for the past few months--doing more thinking about painting, then actually painting.  However, I am extremely happy with some of my recent work.  These three pieces are all acrylics on stretched canvas.  I used several different palette knives, a fork, various brushes, squeeze bottles, molding paste, gloss mediums, and of course my new favorite tool--the TOOTHPICK.  I just can't believe how you can use a toothpick for so many art purposes!!!  The colors in these pieces are a bit more subdued than much of my work, but I love the blending and texture of them.
