I post on dailypaintworks, and I often browse through the artwork of other artists there. I came across an artist, Julie Ford Oliver, who uses a palette knife and brushes, like myself, when painting with oil paint. Her oil paintings are wonderful, in texture and colour and she is hugely popular on the site. The link to her blog is. http://www.juliefordoliver.blogspot.ie. Or follow the link in my blog list, on the top right of this page. She has inspired me to continue with the way I have been painting in oil, as I was beginning to have doubts about my style and the direction I was heading. Regards Joe
