These are two of my oil paintings from my trip to Maine. I'm just having fun with oil paint .... they are no where near as detailed as my colored pencil work and I like it that way. I realize more and more how much easier it is to see color and value when painting from life as opposed to working from photos which flatten the image and dull the colors.

Kendra, these are beautiful! I love the difference in technique from the tight renderings of your cp art.

I like the oils because it loosens me up ; ) My pencil work is so tight sometimes .....
