I use a technique where you paint fat on thin, dry brushes come in handy at times, even wiping out with a clothe at times. To acheive more depth in my paintings (besides the obvious use of paint contrast) I use a variety of brushes and a pallet knife at times to give my paintings more texture and intrigue. Each original oil painting is a new adventure, I try and take what I see and make it more beautiful.
My desire is to enjoy God's creation while I paint. When painting fruit or flowers I notice how quickly things start to wither and fade. It is a clear reminder of the frailty of life. How a flower in a vase might change it's positon by turning or even dropping a petal. "Praise God", He never changes! His promises are true and sure. This perspective gives me an even greater admiration for my Creator and His beautiful creation.
I prefer to paint from "Still Life." It encourages me to finish a painting more quickly. I also take pictures to see how I am progressing or where I need to make improvements or corrections.
In my yard, I have many varieties of flowering trees and shrubs to choose from as subjects to paint. There is usually something blooming year round! I hope to capture "some" of what I see in my paintings and share with others.
Because of Christ, michele greene
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Hi Michele, hope you are fine. I feel there are many grains in your painting. Can you tell me how did you did that?
