I painted this small alla prima oil painting using a couple of palette knives. This type of painting is relaxing and good for exercising the creative side. I planned it as I went and used the knife to blend color and build texture on the canvas. It gets a bit wetter as the paint layers are added. The lighthouse was kept simple and I also scratched in some birds. The canvas is an 8x10 gallery wrap with edges painted for hanging without a frame. The heat wave is still pounding us here in Texas. We need rain badly.
