Dandy Daisies

12"x12" oil on gessobord
 Click here to purchase, or for more information.

This was actually finished right before Christmas. I'm taking some of those small florals ever larger. I'm really loving working on the gessobord, but I know when I go to the super large paintings, I find it better to work on canvas. The panels get extremely heavy at that size. So I do go back and forth with surfaces, I have several that I like to work on for a few different reasons.   I'm finding a greater comfort zone combining brushes with my palette knife work....at ALL sizes that I work in, from tiny to enormous.

I was wondering if you had used brushes on this and you answered in your post. It's wonderful, Roxanne!!

Thanks Diane! I used the brushes with the transparent under painting, and brought the knife in for thicker opaque layers on top. I'm liking the depth that seems to bring to the appearance.
