Trying out a new painting knife.

 
It is always nice to buy new art supplies. Some are necessities and others are bought on a whim. Lately, I find myself limiting my purchases. Squeezing the last dab of oil paint out of a tube, or still using a brush when clearly the bristles have worn down to the nub. But I also like to buy a new brush or especially a new painting knife.
 
 
Flower Shop Flower Stalks
6x6, original oil
Today's painting was inspired by a bunch of flowers in a floral shop. Their were many varieties all kept in large clear glass vases. The tall stalks of the mostly leafless stems really stood out and made the flowers seem larger. To purchase this painting, visit my website:  SpohnStudio.com
I painted most of this painting with my newest painting knife. It has a lot of cool edges, and inspires me to keep things simple. Photo of it below.
