Doorways, Enchanting Store Fronts, Secret Gardens & Beautiful Blooms

Here’s door#4. As always during these 30 day challenges, I’m learning more every minute that I paint. Palette knife painting is new to me, as is mixing paints with one too. Loving the new skills :)

Starting to explore textures today. It’s also been howling gales outside – can you tell?

The first 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge of 2020 is here and these are my paintings for days one and two.

I’m trying something different this month and am aiming to develop my abstract painting skills with a palette knife. I first painted with a palette knife mid-way through last year and used an image of a mosaic archway as my initial inspiration. Continuing with this type of theme, I’ll be using lots of different Indian doorways as the starting point and then abstracting with collage and acrylic paint on square canvas boards. 

Looking forward to seeing how the month plays out. Thanks for coming along with me :)
