Here are better photos of the latest work in oils. I guess I should mention some of the motivation for the two.

The volcano…. it was the colors. The reds in stark contrast to the blues and greens really drew me. The still-life was another student work with the instruction from Eduardo Chacón. (Please go by his site and take a look at his work)

During the student work, I uttered (outloud) how difficult this medium is and with that in mind, I commend those who do it well.

Please stop by again and again, thank you for visiting!

 

In Oil

/ Desiree / 3 Comments

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with a still life artist, Eduardo Chacón. He has work in various parts of the world as well as in this area of New Mexico. He has been telling me that I should do some work in oil. Now, I’ve been resistant because the last time I worked in oil has been about thirty years ago and I didn’t much like it then.

Yesterday I did a still life with him. I still don’t much like oil but it was fun and I’m sure that I will do it again, perhaps doing a landscape. Below is what was produced by his fine instruction.
