Winter's Majesty - acrylic impressionistic palette knife representational landscape by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

Winter's Majesty
14" x 11"
Acrylic on board
Palette Knife

This painting was done for Gary Keimig's Wilderness Art Challenge. Gary took this photo of Togwotee Pass near Dubois, Wyoming. My computer monitor is showing the blue in my painting very bright and very blue. Again, I will attribute this to my camera. When getting the correct blue, my mountains "wash out". It is an acrylic painting done on board using a palette knife. If you have any questions or wish to purchase, please contact Pat. To see more of my paintings, please visit my website and blogspot at:

I love your exciting brushwork, especially in these dramatic trees.

Thanks, everyone for your wonderful comments. Tatiana, did you actually get to meet Gary? Taryn, I had a sculpting compound in my paint and used a palette knife. The mixture is too thick to work with a brush.

Yes, Pat, I did met him! I was at his gallery, then we went to have lunch together, talked a lot. And he told us to take a turn of Togwotee Pass on a way back to Jackson to see those mountains you painted a beautiful lake what is surrounded by those mountains. on a way there we met Grizzly bear and I took great shots... about 25 feet away. It was WOW kind of experience. I so want to go back one day.
