A New Technique?.........

I am trying to loosen up with my work and in an effort to do so have been learning to use a palette knife.  Looking at this photograph one wouldn't think that I have spent hours with a palette knife.  I obviously have a lot to learn! 
I have been simply amazed at the enormous talent of many American artists and have just loved browsing through Chelsea Bentley James' and Angie Renfo's sites.  It is such a priviledge to have access to so many works over the net.  And I am always grateful to the artists involved.
