New Semi Abstract Figure Paintings

In my quest to find a style I'm happy with, I've begun experimenting with a palette knife as part of my armoury.  I'm happy with the marks I can make which are very different to those produced by a brush and I'm enjoying the slightly out of control results I'm able to get.
I've used some of my old life drawings as a basis for the paintings and I'm pleased that the results are promising enough to keep me busy with this new style for a while.  I'll try to refine things slightly as I go along, but not so much that I loose the abstract qualities I'm getting.
