This painting was an experiment. I wanted to see what it would be like to create a painting with no brushes, but with only the palette knife. The palette knife is a clunky tool, and so one must accept the continuous "happy accident' into the process. Every mark is bold and expressive and demands both flexibility and control. It's an exciting way to paint! Taking its motif from ancient Greek literature, The Three Graces depicts the three daughters of Zeus, each of whom is described as being able to bestow a particular gift on humanity.
