Something Old, Something New...

Good morning! I finally got brave enough to try oil this past week and I love it! My daughter in law let me borrow her oil paints and I took an old painting in water color and put it on a canvas. Here is my wip:

Here is another picture at an angle.

It might be hard to see, but the oil paints have such wonderful thickness and texture. They go on so creamy and smooth...the only problem of course, is how long they take to dry. I read on the internet today, it can take over a month for all of the layers to completely dry! In the meantime, I painted a couple more pieces of wood.

I'm heading to church now, but I'll be around to see what the other artists for Sunday Sketches (see link on right) have created this week. Have a lovely Mother's Day!
