So this is it, at least until I let it stew for a few weeks and see what I think by mid-March. CHANGES WILL BE MADE!

I like to make oil paintings because it's one of the most fun mediums I can think of, but I do lack polish. I really haven't worked with oils consistently since 2013, but enough excuses! I had fun with this.

This photo's not so good because the lighting wasn't great, but don't you worry - I'll be posting great photos of this piece to my blog in the coming months.

I wish I could have gotten started on this painting earlier in the week, but so it goes!

So far so good, I already see where I'm going to need some corrections. I don't know how dark I want to go with the foreground, so I'm thinking I'll go ahead with what I have for now and maybe glaze it over with some deep purple tone at the end.

No kidding, I just got called in to work so I'll have to cut this short.

See? BUSY.
