11) Tricia Courtney's monochromatic

Fall. 2007
Acrylic on board. Palette knives.

I was inspired by Tricia Courtney's paintings of trees. The method she uses to paint with palette knives, which gives the painting a lot of texture, caught my attention a lot and so i decided to try something similar.
At that point in my life i just wanted to try as many things as i could, experiment with different surfaces, media, and method of applying it. This time i wanted to try painting with pallet knives, something i was completely new at.
I chose to make my painting monochromatic because i wanted to concentrate not on the color of the image but on its texture.
