Landscape Challenge #7

I decided to change things out a bit and try a palette knife. Well, part is with a palette knife and part is with a spatula. No, not the kitchen spatula, one I purchased just in case… for situations just like this. You never know when you'll need a spatula for a painting when nothing else is working.
My motto: "be prepared" and I certainly am.

A friend of mind asked if I was up for a challenge… of course, I said "Sure!".
So I am doing 30 landscapes in 30 days.
This is the first.

Thanks Amelia for the "Push"!

I've painted this scene several times in the past few years to see how my progress has changed my painting. I still have difficulty with it as far as color and I can see my brush work is more "fluid" which is the direction I want to be going in. I do like May 2009's version, but I feel my style is changing into it's own and I'm o.k. with that.
