I am finally getting around to some oil painting. I am doing a few practice paintings before getting started on a portrait commission. It has been a while since painting with oils. I really enjoyed this one. It took a while to talk myself into it and to get my head screwed on straight. But, once again, when I get started I enjoy myself.
This was the painting that was done for paint week with Chris Fornataro. I am following him on Patreon and will be doing some more of his paintings, soon. He really helps me to loosen up.
This one is oils on an 11×14 stretched canvas.
