" Mayapple Sunset" An Original Oil Painting by Donna Berk Barlup

                                     
"Mayapple Sunset"
Original Oil Painting by Donna Berk Barlup

I know!  I paint exclusively in watercolors!  But I thought I would expand my horizons (literally and figuratively) and try oil paint.  So many of my friends paint amazingly in oils.  

You must realize that I haven't painted with oils for a few decades ago when I was in college. (I refuse to tell you how many!)  So this is an experiment of sorts.  I am still not sure how I feel about oils but I did have fun and now I have a new-found appreciation for those of you who paint with oils, especially the plein air painters.  They take forever to dry!!!

Well welcome back--this painting is a beauty--love the blue part of the sky with the touches of pink, as much as the clouds with the sunlight breaking behind them and the tinges of light on the ground-very sensitive-very lovely.
