More On Textures

Since the last post was about my experimenting with textures in oil paints, I thought it was nessecary to include some others that I made around the same time using the same concept. The two paintings below were made at the same time using a palette knife instead of a paint brush. The paint was applied directly without any use of oil mediums. I would say that these paintings are completed very quickly and expressively allowing for the viewer to see whatever they would like. In this case, the idea is so abstract, you might actually see only yellows and reds whereas with the "Lights On the Water" painting, the viewer might see something other than just abstracted colors. -Josh Grabowski
