They Said It Couldn't Be Done

I started painting over 40 years ago but I started with oils and bought these knives to use with them at that time. Since I joined the Artsy Gang last year I have worked only with watercolors. Someone mentioned watercolors couldn't be done with a knife. Being the contrary person I am (anyone who knows me will tell you that) I set out to prove them wrong. Using the watercolors from the tubes and these knives I made this less than stellar painting. It could be better but I am proud of how I accomplished it
It really does seem like you can do anything.....I love that you took the challenge...and it worked! Great job!

Oh, very nice Katy! I like the addition of the palette knives.
April 20th, 2022  
This is really nice, I'm amazed you did it all with knives

That’s how change happens….do what they say can’t be done. I think it’s a very cool effect. I love the little garden, the lamp, and the brickwork.

I very much like the painting and your creativity in trying a new method.

You? Contrary? Impossible!!🤣
But, in this case it has served you well! Beautiful painting, however it came to be!!

This is really neat - a little hard-headedness (my downfall) can really lead to some interesting stuff!
April 20th, 2022  
Love art, this is so neat!

I am in awe at the range of your creativity--photography, painting, sewing, cooking, to name the ones I remember right now! I like the addition of the painting knives to this photo, and your determination to do it your way!

Holy guaccamole!!!! The eggshell cracked and the secret is revealed: she's a master. This is... fantastic!!!!!

Absolutely amazing Katy, I can only echo what Diane said :-)

Like me , if you are told it can’t be done it feels like and invitation and a challenge. Great result.

I must agree with all of the above comments! So proud to be able to call you my sister! 💞
April 20th, 2022  
I would never have thought to give this a go. You've proved the sceptics wrong and created a great painting.

@grammyn of course I read it.....

OK Ditto to everything above, including Jackie’s assertion that of course she read your narrative and assessment of the painting’s quality. I read it twice—once a couple of days ago but didn’t take the time to comment — and again right now. I would say “Mission accomplished!” You definitely proved it could be done. And, while it’s a fairly uncomplicated painting, also proved you could do it with the same artistic sensibility you bring to your work with brushes.
