Artist's Comments

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!

this is beautiful-- you were able to get some fluid crispness in the oils
this is what i have been thinking about-- acrylics- even with a gloss medium- seem almost flat to me lately...
i want shiny paintings.... the thing that always bothered me about oils was how long they took to dry
what do you think about that? maybe patience in my old age would change this
i have a 2 year old and well, him touching them and space to let them dry is an issue
i have some oils that were my grandpa's and you have inspired me to get a piece of wood and start up with them to experience their fluidity and power
this piece is making me think of the tartness of the lemon and their shiny skin
with the oils inside
thanks for posting t-his *
i believe seeing the real painting would be wonderful especially with the frame you talk about
be well
love
lisa

such a clean work. You got amazing colors and the lines are amazing.

I've never tried Oils, but I think your work is beautiful.

The intricate details and the vividness of the colors used just make this a visually stunning piece. Congratulations on your first piece done completely in oils. If your future pieces are as captivating as this one, I hope you do more!
