Landscape in Oil

(C) 2020 Dale DiMauro

Oil painting is such a fun medium to work with. In this medium a subject can be painted in a direct way with little hesitation. Plus, it is a delight to paint on an upright or flat surface. 

This is another oil I painted recently. It was done entirely with a palette knife thus making the clean-up quite simple and quick. I was fortunate to have access to a stained canvas(blue) from a local artist. I love the combination of the texture of the canvas with the effects created by the palette knife.

As this global crisis(COVID-19) hits closer to home, just viewing this landscape calms my mind. In addition, the clarity of colors and their free expression makes me want to paint more in oils.
