I like the 'thumbnail' format - really shows off your variety of works, colors and styles. Are you painting with the knife all the time or just when the scene speaks, "knife?"

Saw your pcs at SeaTree - loved the boys on the beach up close & personal.

Hope to add 'Tool of My Trade' to my Rooney collection

thanks. i liked the way the boys on the beach came out too.
i guess i havent picked up a brush in over a few months now. not a conscious decision to 'not' use a brush, just seems the knife is my weapon of choice lately. i like how loose i can get with it. something i had to 'try' to get with the brush where its second nature with a chunk of thin metal. always loved camille prezwodiks stuff and peggy kroll-roberts (she uses a brush but same slabby look as a knife)
keep checking the blog for the giveaway day and send the email entry within 48 hrs. it might be going on your wall after all.

Sis H & I are taking Camille's wrshp in the Easton, MD area in Aug. Am excited.
Sorry about the 'anonymous' response to The Knife - I am a techno peasant!
Must try a knife soon - I love the looseness, texture, and purity of color
