Here's my latest oil painting "Ocean's Thunder." I'm really happy with this painting. For me, this was quite an accomplishment. I set out to do a few things with this painting and upon completion realized I achieved what I set out to do and that's a GREAT feeling!
In the next week, I will post progression images of my time working on this painting at different stages. I'll discuss what challenges I faced during the five weeks it took me to complete this painting. That is one of the first accomplishments for this artwork. I set out to finish this quickly and five weeks is light speed for me! I've been struggling a bit with perspective and I feel I really gave the rocks the perspective I was looking for. Another goal for this painting was to make the rocks look like...I don't know...ROCKS!?! I can confidently say I feel I did that also. My first attempt at rocks in oil was a DISASTER!!!
I would love your thoughts on this painting, I've very proud of the results. Hope you enjoy!
Stay tuned for my next post.
Wow! This is a strong piece...can't wait to see the progression!!
