Working in oils can be both liberating (when you’re using them) and frustrating (due to drying times)… Here’re a couple I worked on recently.

Hard and Soft…
Todays painted effort. I really enjoyed exploring the difference between the two.
Scratched Away At This Some More….
Moving into the fine details now… having to focus and not only look at the image as a whole, see how it all fits together, but also having to home in on those areas that require attention, and there are still many, many more. I’ll be putting this to one side for a day or two and look at it with fresh eyes.
Rest Stop…
here’s my newest painting (so far). I’ve decided to pull my finger out and paint some canvases, I miss the freeing aspects of painting this way, I sit down for far too long every day, whether it be in front of the computer-working digitally, or scratching away at a pen and ink drawing… Waving ones arms around with a brush loaded with paint is a very fun diversion. I spent 6-7 hours on this one yesterday, I’m hoping to do the same today. Will post progress shots as I go…
