Noooo York!

It's a big apple!!! No really, it's an apple, just squint yer eyes a bit, its an abstract.
Abstract, an arty farty word for splodge it on the canvas and see what happens, which is pretty much what this is. Its done with the old palette knife again, in oils on a 60cm by 60 cm canvas. Dare I say I'm pleased with it, I'd be more pleased if it was wholly my own idea, thanks to someone else on the net for this!!

Sunrise

Was this painted by a 9 year old? No, its one of mine. Sunrise over the hills, but for me, its not quite there yet. Learnt a bit more doing this one, especially how things can quickly turn to sh*te with an errant knife stroke!!
Done on 30cm by 40cm canvas in oil with a palette knife.
Thanks to Chris Geall for the inspiration.
