Paintings!

[mitejen]

The last month or so, I started work in oils for the first time ever. I had avoided them for over a decade because I was terrified of the idea of using REAL CHEMICALS, and didn't understand the properties behind how the paint works very well. But I was about to give up painting altogether because I was so frustrated with acrylics

If I can stop being a total flibbertigibbet one of these days I'll post photos of the figures I've done. I haven't touched them in years, though, it just seemed like one more thing that ate up my money (they're so expensive!)

I really like the Vampear. He came out reasonably well.

Heh, I just don't know what came over me that day---and there's plenty more to come.

Thanks! I look forward to designing bizarre flatware for your future fancy 'dos'

why on earth would someone want to paint a parsnip?! Evil things they are! (the parsnips, not the artist)
They are excellent though :D

Thanks! I actually thought of you as I was painting it--you have that whole 'root vegetable' motif and all.

The parsnip and tomato definitely give me the feel of the veggie...cold and dry parsnip, and ready to burst with flavor tomato.

Thanks! I fiddled with the Vampear a lot, and completely changed the background at one point.

And I can do that, because it's oils! WOO HOO!
