Got a flash of inspiration yesterday, saw a beautiful landscape painting, done in oils and palette knife, so when I got back home, out came my oils, my knives, my photo references, and this is the result of some mad painting done in about 40 minutes. Supposed to be golden grasses and the heather of the Lammermuir Hills, and I admit it looks nothing like heather and colour a bit dubious...., but I braved the white page, the fear, the unknown and went for it. Phew.

    Bravo for overcoming the Big Three (White Page, Fear, and Unknown). You really did a nice job with the textures! nancy

    Love the build up of paint in this and the boldness of the contrasting colors. Nicely done. BTW, I love your name!

    This makes me want to be there and run around in the heather. Love the feeling of space with the hills in the distance.

    Way to go! I have water soluble oils sitting here, that have BEEN sitting here for over a year now. I have a combination of fear and need for space stopping me at the moment. But you jumped right in, and with a knife! Great job!

    Very brave of you! I am at that stage with watercolors--it is all a big experiment! But life is short so go for it is my attitude. I especially like the reddish hills with the blue hills in the far distance.

    I love that splash of yellow in the heather. It is beautiful and inspires me to work on impulse.
