I've been wanting to do more painting with palette knives.  So when I was close to completing this rose 'un-abstracted' I decided to move in with a knife and take a chance.  A few of my favorite artists paint this way, looser (than this) touches of unexpected color here and there.  In Julie Ford Oliver's wonderful blog, she talks about repeating the color of the subject elsewhere in the painting.  Check out Julie's work as well as the work of 2 of my other favorite artists...Barbara Flowers and Julia Klimova.  There is so much inspiration out there!!
