On the RocksOils 9 x 6
I was looking around for something to paint tonight and found an irridescent glass star - a Christmas ornament. Bad move. I swear the colours in that piece changed each time a blinked. I'm not brave enough to show it here. Its beyond redemption. I may work on it more but somehow I think its destined for the 'paint over' pile
I need to start a new drawing. When painting frustrates, drawing soothes. And oddly enough, the more complex the drawing, the more relaxing I find it. I'll see if I have time to get a line drawing done tonight before bed calls me.

this is one of those days hen i get to stumble into an artists' blog and just stay on and on and on... and just look through his or her works and be... mesmerized.
i love your works. thank you for sharing these.
This isn't one for the do over pile. I have come up with a solution for do overs - I am using watersoluble oils and when I know its just not going to work I just stick the canvas under the tap and wash it all off! I find paint much more frustrating than drawing and too resort to my pencil when the paint wont work.
Thanks for your kind words Palma. I visited your blog and its amazing!
Yes, this one's a keeper. I was up tinkering with the star at 7am. I still don't know if it will live or not. Watersoluable oils...I like that tap idea. Just wash away the evidence :)
I was going through the linked in suggestions and came across this great painting. I just love the colours and mood, don't know how I missed it.
