Stamps, punchanella and small grid used in the background.
Actually I should add some stamps or punchanella to this one too. I used a pallet knife and a brush for this one.
I scratched into this one for the veins in the leaves. The original artist did not add this.
These three paintings are inspired from another artist that I am really liking from the Daily Painters website named Jeff Mahorney. It looks rather simple but it's really not that simple I am finding out. I do like starting from a black background because it gives it that folk arty look that I like. Not for sale of course since it is inspired from Jeff Mahorney. His art is fabulous and I love the chunky look. I am actually trying different styles to see what I like the best and so far--I like chunky. Chunky journals, chunky paintings....yep chunky it will probably be.

I'm loving this Martha. :) Paintings still feel like uniquely you.
I like that textured look of the chunky, you're doing such a great job trying out all these new methods and mediums. I would think working from a black background requires you to think differently as you develop the painting...very cool.
Oh these came out great,I'm loving the chunky style too. I have been practising doing the chunky style with acrylics and you're right its not easy.I love how you added your own style to these paintings.
I am so enjoying seeing your daily paintings! I adore the top pear one you created. I have been going through a small pear phase lately.
I enjoy working from black backgrounds too. As Bren said it "requires you the think differently when developing the painting".
the sunflower is my favorite...love the chunky too....
Hi Martha! I love your eggplant. I like chunky! Can I ask a silly perhaps question: what is punchanella? :D
You're such an adventurous spirit...trying out all these new techniques....love the chucky and the backgrounds you added.....
Hugs and blessings
wow, the texture, the colors, you are doing some awesome work. Hugs
Martha, These are just gorgeous! You're really talented; forget all my previous comments. lol~
Thank you! I just went to that site(bad, bad) and ordered some...and ordered more goodies than I should have! Stop tempting me to have such fun, Martha! heehee
You are just as much an artist with oils as you are with all other mediums. It's so fun to see your variety.
What beautiful works of art!
Oh....I see the black underpaintings. How magnificently done Martha!
You are doing great, love all those pears!
LOVE all of your chunky paintings!!! (and i think that chunky likes me, too, because i have an awful lot of it around my hips.....). xox, ;))
You may be inspired, but this is your art--no doubt! This is my favorite style of painting, and I always love the colors you choose.

Hi Martha!
I feel honored. Thanks for the kind words too.Yep, I like some chunky too! I really like the spin you put on these. The first one is especially awesome imho. The texture added my the background grid and and the organic handwriting is really interesting.
