Stained Glass Garden 6x6 oil/palette knife painting

Day 28 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
OK, this one is a little silly, but I'm feeling the crunch here at the end of the challenge--I need to get ahead by two days before our vacation comes up. This is a technique that I've been wanting to try, which I would have done in acrylic, but felt it would work in oil, too. I used the palette knife shape to make the red and pink flowers, and bottles and bottle caps to make the other shapes, including the blue flowers. Then palette knife to put in stems and leaves. It was fun and quick!

Red Hibiscus 6x6 oil/palette knife painting

Day 23 in 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
Red tropical hibiscus--my favorite color of all of them, although the yellow and pink and salmon are gorgeous, too. So many flowers, so little time!

Cheers! 6x6 oil/palette knife painting

Day 15 in 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
Cheers! Woo hoo! Halfway through the challenge! Had to celebrate with a purple martini. Well, a couple--I had to try different recipes! The usual combination is Blue Curacao and cranberry juice with vodka, but what did I find right next to the Blue Curacao? A purple liqueur! Marie Brizard "Parfait Amour". Made from oranges, like the Blue Curacao. So why isn't it orange? ;) Finished it off with purple sugar sprinkles on the rim.
Tried to make the background "confetti-like" in the spirit of celebration--too busy, I think. Fun painting, and fun celebration!
