For today’s FirstFridayArtWalk over on Google+, here is the first oil painting I’ve completed this year that I’m happy with. 🙂
It’s also my first attempt to interpret my recent watercolor mini-painting series into an oil painting, and I’ve pushed myself in several other ways with this one, too. Perhaps a bit too much pushing for one painting, but I do like it and I’m ready to try another, having learned a few things though this work.

Forgive the slight sheen on this one. I will need to try and take a better photo later.
