Original Creation

To the summit - Bill Alexander

Tom0779 01 Jun 2026

My first Oil painting since October 2024.
I choose this one from Bill because I thought it might be a good start. It is a knife-only picture (except sky and water tint) and uses just a few colors.
I wanted to use a strong blue and dark tress to get the contrast of the highlighted mountains.
I think I am ok with a first oil painting since such a long time and I hope I will be able to paint more in the future.
This is oils on canvas panel 30 x 40 cm.

This is fabulous Tom, your colour choice works really well, I hope you enjoyed it. It took me ages to get round to tackling knife only painting, I did a couple and I found them fascinating. You should try sky and water with the knife sometime, you'll be surprised!

Great Tom, one of my favorites of Bill!

Such strong Alexander style. Always amazed with your work.

You haven't lost any of your skills with the layoff. Fantastic result, well done.

Geez Tom this is really good!
