My friend Lori, who is super saavy with all thing creative and technical, has been bugging me to update my blog and actually get a picture up. Okay, so I will attempt. Thanks Lori; I need a push now and again.
I began a large scale (for me) oil painting last week. It's been a long time coming. I sketched out the drawing on canvas nearly a year ago and have been holding on to the inspiration photo to paint even longer than that. I had a great session getting it under way and was re-inspired by the wonderful qualities of oils (water-based which I love -so easy to clean up!). It is really so much more fun to paint with them than acrylic. My rendition of a little coastal town of Western Italy is hanging up where I can see it every day and breath in those lovely oil fumes and not forget that I need get back to it...just need to find another block of 4-5 hours at a time. Might take a few weeks, but it will happen!
