I feel I've finally made a good transition to oils by completing these past two fantasy landscapes. I've now started a real landscape... a bit "fantasy light" you might say. Last Friday I went up through the mountains and found a good spot. The early morning mist was right. I've skipped starting with an acrylic wash and went straight to the oil. My first step here was to capture the mood. I think I have the right color and atmosphere. Now I'm beginning composition. Oil on canvas 16x20.

Michael, I sympathize with your frustration but I admire you for working so hard at both your day job and your paintings. I like the experimental and emotional tone to this piece.
I so resect your work ethic! And this painting looks like it's going to be exciting,
It will be worth the sacrifices and hard work, Michael - you are so talented.
Hang in there. When I was scrolling down I saw your painting and thought it was finished. I thought it was an abstract landscape & really like it already! Nice work.
I really like your tree. I see a woman in the tree. Very nice.
