This large oil painting was just sanded down and will be shortly painted over. I should have photographed it pre sanding, but I didn’t.
The only part I’ll really miss is the belly.
Soon this painting will become something so much better than it was.

Think of “Orange” as a noun.
This is my latest oil painting. It is fairly large and quite beautiful. The textures are not fairly conveyed by the photographs.

A terra rosa under painting. Starting a new oil painting is so exciting.

This is the first in a series of oil paintings I hope to apply to galleries with. It is currently not for sale. It is based on a dream I had about standing up. The last image is to give you the idea of its size.
It is painted improperly on top of a painting of my sister screaming I made in college.
So, in many years a
large screaming face will become visable in the space including the back of the chair and directly behind
the emerging white face.
