garden pond with fingernail marks

Here is the end result of my previous post about the process: Garden Pond, 6x6 inches, oil on hardboard.

This little painting is in my gallery on Daily Paintworks. They have a great image magnifier tool there and using that tool, you can see the foreground detail of marks I make with a fingernail of my gloved hand. This is a technique I use often in my pastel paintings and I just can't resist putting my fingers in my oils too. Sold
