This painting was done for Lela Stankovic's Paint and Draw Together Blogspot. It was done with a palette knife using acrylic paint on a gallery wrapped 12" x 12" canvas. The bowl in her photograph was translucent, and I must admit defeat with painting that translucency and painted it a more opaque bowl. For the sake of art, some things have to be altered for the viewer to see a more understandable piece....and, this was one of those times. I also cropped and flipped her photograph... Please visit Lela's PADT site to see the original photograph and the many renditions being submitted by other artists. If you have any questions, contact Pat at patsfineart@hotmail.com To see more of my works, both representational and abstract, visit my website and blogspot at:

Love it - painting with palette knives is such fun! And I have no problem with the bowl - translucent, solid - it's ok by my eyes!
The bowl doesn't bother me either--The color and textures are so rich--the tabletop is such a nice warm color with a perfectly rendered shadow of the bowl.
Great composition Pat. I always love your work.
Nice work Pat. I love your knife paintings! You get great texture. Awesome to see in person!
Absolutely radiant, Pat! What you can do with a palette knife is astounding!!!
