My hope for this blog is that it will document my progression as an oil painter. While I have not studied art in a formal setting, I do study art on my own time. Each new painting is a study in color and technique, trial and error. Every second is a study in perspective.

'Candles'
8" x 6" Oil on Canvas Panel
Sold
I painted this back in August. My efforts to take a quality photograph are futile so I went ahead and posted it. I've been busy with my real job and traveling a lot on weekends so I haven't had a chance to paint much, or post...I apologize if you're waiting on something.
I like the way the fire turned out...It's tough to make it shine and those luminous colors in the candles were tough to figure out. I overworked the shadows and highlights in the background, which is an ongoing problem for me.
This one is cheap though - might look nice in your bathroom or against a dark color scheme...
