Oil Painting

I was asked to post pictures of my oil paintings, for my faithful followers who aren’t on facebook. So here you go.

“Fall” – This is the very first painting I have ever done. It was very enjoyable. This started my love for oil painting. I have this one hanging in my livingroom.

“Sunset” – My second attempt was a bit more challenging. But I made it thru with a lot of pray and some professional advice/help. I was quite happy with the turnout. I gave this one to my parents for Christmas.

“7 Mountain Peaks” – Painting #3. I started this one on my own, a few months back. It was my first attempt without any help. I ended up running into a bit of trouble and had to stop. I ended up finally finishing it this past weekend at the scrapbook retreat I was on. Yes I know…painting at a scrapbook retreat? But that is what happened. There were several girls there who had also discovered a love of oil painting as well as one very good “teacher” and with their help and advice I was able to finish this one. I’m quite happy with this one as well. Once it’s dry I will probably frame it.

“Uluru in Australia” – Painting #4. Yet another one I started on my own and ended up finishing at the retreat. Trevor requested this one. He saw the picture in a book we have about Australia and loved it, so he wanted me to paint it. It didn’t turn out as good as I hoped, but I think its keepable.

“Beach Scene” – Painting #5. This completes my collection so far. After painting several mountains, I wanted to do something bright and cheerful. So thus the creation of my beach scene.

I now have 3 wet oil paints downstairs, drying, on my sewing table. I have no idea where I am going to put them all once they dry completely. I am now a girl of way to many hobbies. I think its time to do some construction on the house and create myself a “art studio” / “craft room” with 3 tables in it. One for Painting, one for Sewing and one for Scrapbooking. Awww…the dream room.
