Getaway was what we needed after our mega move from the US...I call it mega because the whole process took about 5 months...and affected everyone in the house emotionally and otherwise...infact my 3 yr old still believes we will be moving back... 
The problem with the palette knife for me is that I then do not want to use the brush...when I decided to paint this painting I was thinking brush but when I finally set to paint it was the palette knife.... I love the effects though...
