Custard Station

Back to the Brush

The Custard Station

Painted in Kirkwood this morning and decided to go back to using the brush and give the palette knife a rest.  This little custard stand has the best frozen custard and usually has a long line and crowd gathered around it.  It wasn't open yet while I was painting but the light was bright on the awning and the dark fence under the shade tree made a dramatic contrast that caught my eye.  I had a good time!

Trying a Different Approach

I have used the palette knife when I have painted before but never totally without using the brush also.  So I thought I'd give it a try.  The top painting went nicely with those clouds puffing up in the sky.  The bottom painting was much more difficult trying to carve out the barges on the river. I had fun giving the palette knife a try and will continue to practice using it.  I will have to try some other sizes and shapes.
