Rarely do I paint with a pallet-knife only, but someone challenged me to paint a landscape in a more contemporary style. Since I have done a small number of pallet knife paintings in my earlier years, I took up the challenge and to see if there is even an interest in me doing this sort of work now. Due to the difference in time spent on a painting like this I have adjusted the price accordingly. So... art collectors, please let me know if this is going in the right direction with a message and your thoughts. I welcome honest feedback on not only the work itself, but also the price.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Kivits’ classic oeuvre includes not only original Still-life’s, but also Fruit and Floral compositions, Landscapes, Seascapes and Figurative works in glazes of oil-paint. Predominantly tapping into his antique collection for inspiration, his works take considerably longer to produce; hence a small number of masterpieces are created annually.
True traditional realism, all in the line from the Sixteenth century European Masters onward, he is staying true to these time-proven styles, refusing digital means to aid his work, e.g. projection, pre-printed canvas, grid tracings, or anything but the skill of his own eyes to hand.
Dutch-born Kivits' has firmly established himself in Australia as a legitimate Brand over the years, and his creations have found their ways to art lovers in many developed countries.
