Nice painting - did you really paint it in moonlight? I'm signed up for a workshop to learn painting night scenes.

Thanks Bill! Nope, I thought it was a nice title though, better than "Black and White Hibiscus."

I got these new painting knives for an early Christmas present so I started playing with them right off. They are weird shapes two are like rakes and the third has wavy edges. So I decided to use some black paint because I have lots of it, I rarely use black in my paintings.

When I am trying new things I just try out different strokes on a panel and then scrape them off and keep re-using my paint and cleaning off the panel. I was thinking the knife shapes would make nice leaf veins and edges which it looks like they will do and then I thought I would try some flower shapes too.

My experiment was looking like a painting and so I kept what I was doing and added white to it.
