Mark Making from 11/11-11/30

The artist seems to be exclusively using a pallet knife. This results in an abstract landscape. Despite its abstract nature, though, the painting is clearly of a town from a far. 
This overhead shot of what looks like two people at the beach ready to surf/boogie board. This painting relates to my theme because it has the similar overhead angle that my paintings have. Te reflection of the water on the wet sand is amazing. I want to create such a color/texture. 
The way that the oil and paint forms different textures that stand out from the otherwise 2 dimensional painting. I am not entirely sure how to explore this technique but I find it interesting. 
I find these marks to be most fascinating. They look like several layers of graffiti on a wall. Although this doesn't really relate to my overhead theme of paintings, the mark making is too good to not include it in my collection. 
The foreground, background and middle ground blend with one another, creating a broad and very ambiguous painting. The paint leaks down from the the top of the canvas to the bottom. This technique enables freedom of expression as well as thought on the painting.
