Hello Friends:

I stumbled upon a photo that I took of a model a year or so ago, and decided to paint his portrait with a palette knife. You may have noticed that I've changed my approach a bit-- I'm starting the painting with a very wet brush and letting the paint drip to the bottom of the canvas. Then, I apply very thick paint with a knife on top of the wet paint. I think this process gives the painting a nice moody quality. I hope you like it too.
