Here is a progress shot of my little 8X10 tangelo painting. I know this is rather simple, but this little painting represents some real breakthroughs for me. This has been really fun to paint and I have managed to keep it much looser than my normal paintings. My goal is to paint realism, but still have it look painterly. This is hard for me with my illustrator background. I tend to want things smooth and clean, which somehow takes the life out of a painting for me. I'll keep pushing...wish me luck.
oil paintings done nightly. These are typically postcard sized still-lifes of small ordinary objects.
