Evening Comes

I’m still working on two larger paintings that aren’t finished enough to show, so I thought I’d put this one out there, a little painting done on location near Ennis, MT. one autumn. Is that Ennis Creek south of town? I painted from the bridge as the sun was going down.
On the larger paintings I’m working on now I’m playing with a palette knife which I haven’t done much, trying to develop a more textured surface. It’s been fun to experiment a little. The surface is quite different than that painted with just a brush.


This is beautiful Laurie! I do love your landscapes.
Nice! I’m curious to hear how you like working with a palette knife. I’m going to try one, myself. A friend, Carol Swinney, uses only a palette knife and couldn’t be happier!
Very nice. What is the size of the larger ones you are trying to finish?
