40" x 30" oil on board. So this was just a blast to do my first piece that is completley done in oils and I have decided that if I had never done digital art I would not know what the hell to do. I think this one so far is the closest in quality to my digital pieces. It was so much fun to do I just cant wait to start the next one.I made a huge ornate frame for this so I think I might also add a link of this framed as well because the frame is a whole more couple days work in itself, so check back next week for a link to the framed image. Thanks again all of you for viewing!

Hey , thank you so much! I use winnsor and newton galkyds, they have a resin in them so they dry alot faster but still have the blend-ability, it takes about 24 hours for them to dry, you should try them!

Wow, Kurtis, your art has changed since the last time I saw your stuff (how long ago?). The background is still vague, but the rendering is much better. Instead of random leaves floating in space it all looks grounded. The effect is wispy and surreal, quiet and obviously not the focus, but helping with the mood and not taking the notice away from the centerpiece. So even though it's not linear or realistic (my preferred as you'll probably remember, or not), I like the overall presentation.

Everything is so colorful! The dress' shading and blending is nice, and the style is cool. I like that you still have a moody feel to your piece without all the dark coloring in muted greens. :) The lacing is great. The dew, the wing tips, the shine on the woman, and the Bubbles! My god Kurtis, The Bubbles! That is the attention to details I always knew you were capable of, but too in a hurry to go for. Although you did put allot of effort into round objects and bubbles, just not grass and occasionally lace.

I don't think I ever told you this, because at the time you were going for a more realistic approach to anatomy, but I've always liked the way you drew eyes. The problem at the time was that, while pretty, they were too big and out of proportion, and you wanted to at least be able to paint eyes 'correctly'. What I liked was your 'big' eyes never looked cute. Pretty, calculating, knowing, Mature: that's what I felt they were like. Nice juxtaposition to what is generally thought a female with large eyes entails.

I think I read that your going to showcase this somewhere? That's splendid, I was actually walking by some galleries today thinking about you, and I think this would fit in nicely with some of the exhibits.

Congrats on a beautiful job with the oils. Can't wait for the next!

I love the arms and the dress, especially. The tattoos are convincing. However, the hands looks like they need a bit of work and more definition, specifically her left hand, where the wrist meets the thumb.

I really like the combination of green, purple and lime yellow in you picture. In my opinion, it looks like a digital piece and not oil one. Idea is cool too!
