More texture - this time it's a palm tree in the wind

I love watching palms bend in the wind - I did this tonight with a pallet knife and oils.
Loving this technique.. it's fast and freeing - a perfect technique for catching the wind...

What do you think? I wish I took better photos.. but you get the drift.. the colors are more vibrant in real life..my lighting really grays out the image...
