Oil painting

While I was waiting for the watercolour to dry, I got out some oil paints.
I was going to just paint some outlines of leaves, but I had completely forgotten just how much I enjoyed painting in oils. It has been a while.
Needless to say it turned out completely differently, but I am really pleased with the result.
I love mixing the colours...getting covered in paint..and smelling of turpentine...

About halfway through
And finished...

(Note to self.. use OLD CLOTHES to paint oils in the future.. NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL YOU THINK YOU WILL BE ...DO NOT DO IT...) ha ha
Dave and I had several attempts to take some photos, but we eventually managed ..
Just waiting for the paint to dry now...will take a few weeks...
