I am having fun with these palette knife paintings. The unique texture created by a knife is so pure - you are literally looking at a slice of pure pigment. This is not to say I don't mix the paints out of the tube - I do, but when I have mixed the desired color mixture, it is applied directly. The result is a passage without a lot of blending of colors into each other.
I took a lot of liberties with the colors in these pears. Pears come in a lot of colors although the turquoise may be a bit of an exaggeration.

Thanks for the comment on my blog re the DSFDF piece Carol. Dive on in, the water's fine! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I really love your abstract pieces, you have a wonderful sense of balance and design.
Good luck with the challenge!
I don't know how you get so much texture while preserving the intensity of the color - really hard to do - these look great.
Three is company and beautiful...I love these pears! The textural quality of your paint along with the turquoise...perfect!
These pears are fabulous, Carol. You get such amazing texture into your paintings. And the turquoise is perfect. I love it when an artist takes liberty with colour. I almost never paint anything the colour it should be.
Wow, Carol, I LOVE this painting! The colors are great and so are the textures... and I love the reflections too. It's unique!
I so enjoy your work Carol!!! Your creativity rocks! I look at the variety of styles, subjects and mediums and I think "I want to be an artist like you!"
You make me feel like crying. Your work simply bowls me away.Thank you for going down those paths...Thank You.
