Yes. I have a bit of writers block, and this week snuck by me. So instead of posting these on Monday here they are:

*Mountain Sunset, Oil on Paper, 2018*

This was my first attempt at oil on paper. I am running out of canvas! I covered it with a layer of white acrylic first, we’ll see how long it stays on the page.

*Portrait, Oil on Canvas, 2018*

This portrait is on a 2in by 2in canvas. I kinda like working with small spaces, it really forces you to be careful and concise.

This was a happy photo, but it came out a bit darker in the painting. I kinda like the scary look though.

And here are some Steemit exclusives, the nudes:

*Solitude, Acrylic on Paper, 2018*

This reflects my current feelings of loneliness. There is a whole world out there but I am left standing alone on an island.

*The Bath, Oil on Canvas, 2018*

This started out as a landscape but I decided for visual interest to add a figure. It's also my first attempt at painting water with oils. I'm not sure I like how it came out. The trees are good, the rest? Meh.
