AFRICAN GAME

"Working with a palette knife is a good way to show textures. It is the best way to show bright, clean colors. With a brush, you have hills and valleys; as a result, the highlights and shadows create a natural gray. Using a palette knife is a very arty method of painting, but it is difficult to create realism. It is like writing with your feet, with your shoe on; you don't have the necessary control over small areas." This painting hangs in the stairway of the Giraffe Restaurant in New York City.
