Original Oil Painting, “A New Frontier”

Hello Everyone,

Here is a new original oil painting I just completed a couple of weeks ago.

This is a small 14” X 18” painting. This is a basic composition with my same six colors pallet. I use a limited pallet ever since I found out how much color harmony really stands out in a painting. Whether it is an oil painting, acrylic, watercolor or anything else. A limited pallet helps connect all aspects of your composition into a very soothing viewing experience.

This painting also utilizes different textures to give the composition even more contrast and depth.

Look at the distant mountain range in the far, upper right side of the painting. Notice how subtle the colors are. You really need to take a closer look. Even the highlights are sub dued.

Now, notice the foreground flowers. I used the pallet knife for these in order to get a rough and wild like texture.

This whole composition has different textures and values throughout in order to give the painting a more realistic feel, while keeping the painterly strokes both with brush and knife noticeable.

This painting is available in my store. It is painted on a 14” X 18” piece of Ampersand Gessobord at 1/8” thick. It can be hung as is with velcro strips or put into a photo frame without the glass to enjoy for generations.

Have A Blessed Day My Friends
