Next I start to use oils, even though I move around I started with the sky first

Then I started to work some on the partial building.

It is a little difficult to get photos inside, especially when the paint is wet and shiny.

 Going back to Santorini, the next step is to put a little paint with a lot of paint medium

and cover the canvas. This is a really fun stage, you can act like your 6 years old again.

 I have added some Fantastic New Totes to my Etsy Store, you can see all of them here: Rebeccambeal

Here are a few taste testers for you.

 They measure 15 x 15 and turned out so awesome, if you need a gift, try one of these!

Painting a huge 30 x40

 I love painting on panels!  The paint really shows and it just so easy to work on them. Most of them are 14x11 and 16x20 but they are sweet. I just finished this one, it is not listed yet.  It is an 11x14.

I enjoyed it so much I decided to make a 30 x 40 for my living room!  I do a rough grid to get the picture on canvas, as you can see here, then I roughly draw in.

Because I thought this would be a nice way to re-start the blog I added a little color. I used to work with acrylics in this stage, however doing the panels have me going straight to oils.

Here is where I stopped for the day, hopefully I will remember to continue taking pictures so you can follow the progress. :)

Virtual "hugs" till next time......
