This is a scene of our off-leash dog park, early morning before the frost melted. The shafts of light coming through the trees give it a hazy, mysterious feeling. This 5 x 7 is a study for a larger painting. I am soooo tempted to try it in oil!
Well, you are off to a super start! Love how the "shadows" and colors of the previous painting add suggestions for the new painting. Cannot wait to see the next post!

ReplyDeleteGo for it, Barbara! It would be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Salomé. Carol, it COULD be beautiful if I knew what I was doing with oil. I'm going to try it and will keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteWell, you are off to a super start! Love how the "shadows" and colors of the previous painting add suggestions for the new painting. Cannot wait to see the next post!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is lovely. Are the oil sticks, like oil paint?
ReplyDeleteHello Ruth,
ReplyDeleteThis little painting was pastel. Good idea to try it in oil sticks. I have some...just never get around to using them!
