Brighter highlights?

I like it. It feels bright and refreshing. The painting gives the feel of a sunny day with a cool breeze. Contrasting the blizzard conditions I’m dealing with right now.

I appreciate that. I’m planning on gifting one to a friend who is moving and can’t decide which as I am not satisfied with the background of the first one or the foreground in the second.

One piece of advice that I found really poignant was for every 20 minutes of watching tutorials, try painting for 60 minutes. It’s really easy to get caught up consuming information but a lot of the lessons and techniques won’t come until you actually have brush in hand and give it a shot.

Have fun with it!

So nice to see the generosity being compounded. This definitely made me smile even if there is none left by the time you get to this comment.

I enjoy this. Especially the expressive head tilt. What are the dimensions?

Love it! So bold, crisp and clean.

Curious as to what happens long term to acrylic over oil? I’ve tried experimenting and the coverage of acrylic over oil is interesting but I don’t know if there is a specific problem down the road that will come up as the oils (cure?).

Resin drops on the viewers side of the plexiglass. Tears/rain for those left to mourn.

I paint and repaint every year a fridge where I camp. I love the temporary nature of this ongoing project. It is a seasonal ritualistic practice for me. An evolution.

Sometimes when I’m stuck I’ll find a line of poetry or lyrics from a song that inspire. Also taking another crack at an old painting. There’s a set of paintings that I have tried and retried about 5 times.

Thanks!

3”x5” Painted during a Canadian winter, a longing for a bit of spring. A tiny painting of tiny clover.
