I'm really pushing to get this piece done soon. The oil and the wood really make a great combination. As usual I'm already planning my next painting and getting distracted.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Green Cabbage in Oil
Just completed my latest cabbage painting, my first in oil. This one really turned out to be striking, it turns my head every time I walk by it and let me tell you after staring at it for weeks, that is a feat.
I think this painting also expresses how excited I am about gardening this year, I can't wait to see if my (real) cabbages will be half as lush. Lets hope so!

Still Growing
An update on the cabbage painting, its really coming along. I'm pretty happy with it at the moment. When I walk into the studio I get a shock from the lush greens. Oils really have a pleasant thickness to them, they almost produce a tactile experience.
Although, like I said before, I miss the stain glass look of the watercolors as I paint the leaves. I still really enjoy working with oil and its a completely different medium. Perhaps this is a good example of why I can't choose between the two.

New Crop
A corner of my studio.
It looks like a new crop of cabbage paintings ( and seedlings ) are bursting forth. I hope to be done with a few paintings soon so as to share them with you.
For now here are the beginnings of a large cabbage in oil ( my first in oil). I like the texture that oil produces in the leaves, though I miss the stain glass effect that watercolor has.
*For all my fellow gardening junkies here is a link to my favorite radio show, I love listening to it while I paint.

Large Cabbage
Hello again, its been a while. My internet was fried by some lightening and unfortunately will not be fixed for a week or so. I'm writing this from the comfort of my friends' house, with their lovely lovely internet. The piece above is another in my cabbage series, I'm quite pleased with it, so much so that I might have a little trouble parting with it.
