Burst of Color & Emotions - Acrylic Colors on Palette Knife

There is something about this painting that makes it one of my favorites. An explosion of colors and a burst of emotions. This painting was done with acrylic colors – base black, earthy brown, occult ochre to bright yellow.

These are the wonders a simple palette knife can do. Those who are hooked to painting with knives would agree with me. You, do try it once.

Today, four of them got consumed within an hour of crazy haze. Dont know what took over me, it did not stop with one… completed 3 in a row. Still raring to go…

This was the most unexpected one. I had something in mind but what conjured up was far more seemingly beautiful to me. I love the way, something powerful takes you over and makes you do things you are never aware of.

Another surprise, after a surprise. The earthy greens, browns and ochre never fail me. I’m the most happiest with these colors and shades.

This is how one rainy afternoon was exhausted. Nothing compares to the exhilarating feeling of swishing the color laden knife over the canvas.

The feeling is indescribable… best left unsaid.
