Rainforest 1 ft by 2 ft on birch panel





I went out and bought some wood today. I've been wanting to paint on raw canvas and ordered some but it's not here yet and I was itchy to paint something. I made a swing by Home Depot and Voila... I can paint again.

I wanted to take a break from what I've been doing and try something else. This painting was done entirely with a pallet knife. I've never done that before and I'm happy with the result.
The colors are a bit gold-green in the first picture. They are more like the original in the close ups.

This painting is an acrylic painting done on a birch wood panel. It is still a work in progress - In fact I just stepped away from it. It's sopping wet.

I love the colors and the glow....
