8"x10" Oil on Canvas Panel
Palette Knife Painting
I ran across this old door that had obviously been painted many times throughout the years. Some of the previous coats of paint were showing through. It was certainly not a perfect paint job but I liked the old door just the same. More and more I'm realizing that nothing much is really perfect, especially material things. Before we moved into our new house, I almost threw out a canister set that was chipped. One jar even had a broken lid. It was the last gift that my parents had given me before my dad passed away. When I unpacked it I thought about how I had enjoyed the canister set & how bad I felt when I accidentally dropped it & damaged it. I took a good look at it & though it wasn't perfect, I just couldn't bring myself to discard it. I got out some super glue & a little craft paint & repaired it the best I could. It now sits proudly on my new counter top. To me, it looks like it belongs there. Like the old door in the painting, it serves it purpose & it's doing it's job. That's perfect enough for me.
Thank you for viewing my palette knife paintings.
