Acrylic; Palette knife on plywood

Yesterday I mentioned the recently found and renovated Palette Knife. So today I thought that I would upload a copy of the painting that I mentioned in the post.  It was painted with Cryla, Galeria, and Lefranc acrylic paints.  The block white is titanium, and the yellow is Cadmium yellow and Lemon yellow (both of which are Cryla).  The rigging was brushed in using Lemon yellow, mixing white, and yellow ochre.  But of course the artist can use the edge of a palette knife for rigging on any ships and for the safety rails on yachts; if trying to avoid using a brush anywhere on the artwork.  Although I've completed 160+ images, I'm loath to upload many of them as it's so easy for someone to make a digital copy.  So that suggests that not all of my best artwork gets showcased, and sometimes only an abstract of a painting or drawing gets uploaded.  I even choose to upload work in progress onto this Blog and to Social Media. As that give the viewer a feel of what is going on, without exposing the final image to copyright infringement.  So in many ways, uploading this particular image is a rare treat.

It's not one of my best, but it was enjoyable messing with the acrylic paints, and seeing the original image starting to take shape before making a distinct turn into something else.
