Birthday Flowers

This is a painting of the beautiful flowers my boyfriend bought me for my birthday back in August. I'm not sure if it's finished, but I like how it's super feminine with all the pink. (I think it's even more pink in real life, that's artificial lighting for you) Also, I used a palette knife for the majority of this painting. I actually started painting the flowers because I had way too much red left over from another painting, but I'm glad I did. I think it will be a very nice girly piece with just minor finishing touches.

Karin Jurick's Different Strokes from Different Folks Challenge

The other day I stumbled upon Karin Jurick's Different Strokes from Different Folks Challenge and decided to give it a whirl. The challenge was for the beautiful streets of San Francisco. I've recently begun using a palette knife instead of brushes. I really like painting with the knife and I love it's textured effects, but I still need a little more practice (as you can see.) It was a nice little break from the usual South Carolina paintings.
