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.

'Two Apples Reflecting'
16" x 20" Oil on Canvas
$75 Plus Shipping
I set this still life up in my makeshift shadow box with glass in the bottom. As usual, the photo doesn't do it justice - for some reason, the shadow at the bottom of the painting shows up a lot darker in the photo than it is in person. I took several photos and this is the best I could manage.
I'm happy with this painting - it's clean, meaning that there are no, or few, overworked, or muddy sections. My main focus right now is cleanliness...I want to make one brush stroke and leave it because it's the right brush stroke.
