I painted with my friend Carolann showing her how I use the palette knife . Textures and techniques with oils are one of my favorites. Looking out to the ocean is always a pleasing site and great for the soul.
I received a magazine with holiday wrapping paper so I thought this would be interesting and fun, plus challenging. As an artist one should look for different and sometimes unusual things to paint.
These rocks and starfish were setting on my desk in my studio in this purple ceramic dish. My 30 days of painting is really getting challenging, so I painted this because I was stuck not knowing what to paint!
