Oil Painting!

While I've still been in the process of working on two books and some commission work, I have found a little time to try something new and something different...something to help me loosen up a little bit and just have fun with and that something is oil painting. It is very different than painting with watercolor but I am finding a lot of joy in doing it. I thought I'd share a few paintings that I did in the past few days. Each one measures 5x7 inches and I've been painting them in one sitting of about 2 hours each. I've been posting them for sale at the Brownieman Shoppe on Etsy in case any of you are interested. I hope you like them!

Oh James! they are gorgeous!, I have oil paints here and I'm still just too afraid to try them, it's one medium I've never learned how to use(must find a how to book I suppose) but still very excited to try!
The last tree is my favorite:) wonderful job!

These are wonderful James. So great to see what you were working on. It is a relaxing and enjoyable thing to do something that is free and loosening and familiar.
