Oil painting

It's been over a year since I painted in oils, and I thought it was time to start again. So today I decided to go to school and take advantage of the open studios. I am still far from comfortable with painting in oil, but I plan on doing one of these a week, minimum.

By the way this is from a photo I took in Monteriggioni, Italy.

My finished sketchbooks

I'm still recovering from hurricane Irene. My place was under about 7" of water for a day and a half. The clean up is still in effect. It's slow and tideous, but I'm getting through it.

I did get to organize my sketchbooks and look at some of my old work that I haven't looked at in a while. I love all of these, and I'm glad I keep them. Not only is my artistic progress documented, but also my trips, voyages, and travels. I will continue to draw, and paint as much as possible. It feels good to have these safe and sound.

Weather change

When I started painting this it was nice and sunny out. By the time I got to paint the sky it was cloudy and darker.


I need to learn to paint faster !
