I was excited to paint in Terrytown this morning at a private residence with fellow members of PleinAirAustin. This was my second attempt with at a painting using just my palette knife. It's quiet a mess -- but I learned from it -- and that's the point. I made my biggest mistake by not selecting the best angle of my subject. These canvases are heavy due to all the paint. I love the sensation of applying paint with the knife.
