Palette Knife Work

This image is before I reworked, and nearly overworked! I used a lot of non brush tools including fingers and palette knives.  It was a noisy affair, very physical in that I used both hands, tools, could hear the scratchiness of the canvas, and visually my eyes bounced around as I added new textures. It takes skill to know when to quit and logic to know when to rework a painting. When I rely only on my emotion I inevitably over do a painting and ruin it. Use emotion to begin a piece, but logic to know when to stop.
