Looks Awsome Keep it up^

Thanks Papa Bear. I try when time permits.

I love Oil Paintings

Me too. I like the medium much more than water color; I have more control over oil, and it's more forgiving.

Put down color using water color, and it's pretty much permanent.

yeah ! I like painting too its so messy though and oil takes forever to dry So i mostly stick to color pencils and pastels and now i do some digital

Actually I've been able to keep my work area rather clean. I use just enough to cover the canvas. As for drying time, you can purchase and add an accelerant to the paint; it cuts the drying time to a day or two (instead of, say a week).

But I like the long drying time, because if I see something that needs to be changed, or if I can brighten up the color, it's easier when it's still wet.

I've never tried pastels yet, but I do have a quality set of pastels and paper (from France). I have worked with pencils too.

I wish that the image were larger, but it sure looks good. Four hours! It is a rare treat to see oils on FA.

Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. The canvas is currently in a local fair, but I can't get to it with a camera (even the artists are forbidden to photograph their work on display out of copyright fears).

As soon as the fair is over I'll rephotograph and post a larger image.

Thanks!

Glad you like it

I love oils more than watercolor, only because it's more forgiving when errors occur.

That's why I love Photoshop! I make lots of mistakes and like to experiment when creating my photomorphs and photomanips, and Photoshop is perfectly and effortlessly forgiving.
