I'm Finally Back

It's been a while since I've posted due to computer problems. It's a love/hate relationship I have with technology. When everything is going smooth, you don't realize really how nice that is until your computer crashes! I finally went out and invested in a new one. I had forgotton how fast these computers can go after spending so long on a slower than molassas gone dry model!

Well enough of that. I would like to show you a new painting that I just finished and it is up for sale now. It's my portrait of the Manatee. I love these creatures and hope to someday visit them. They are from everything I have researched very gentle mammals.

Painting Is Now Completed!

My sailboat painting is now done. It's taken me a couple of months to complete it working on it only a few days a week. I had a lot of fun and learned so much about oils. I plan on using oils again for my next painting. I enjoyed being able to go back over the paint when it was wet to add or mix color into it. I also like to looks of an oil painting. I'll always return to my watercolor and acyrlic too. but this was an interesting project. I hope you all enjoyed it too.
