Skull oil painting

I painted this on a homemade canvas.  Streatched it myself with some inexpensive drop cloth from the local hardware store.  I like the ruff texture it has, it gives the painting some life.  I don't know why I painted a skull, it just seemed right. 

 

Pitcher and fruit oil painting.

I used  a drop cloth canvas and made the frame myself.  The canvas is not the best quality but I am still learning how to make my own canvas.   The painting is oil and 13in x 13 in.  Oranges and plumbs.  I like the way it turned out.  Probably going to sell this one.

Hay Field Oil Painting

My friday night oil painting warm up. Not sure if I will do another.  Sitting and staring at a blank canvas right now.  I am looking for some ideas for my next painting.  Maybe a few beers will help the creative process along.  lol.

Humming bird Oil Painting

I painted this on oil paint friendly paper,  Still trying to warm up to the oil paints.  I am going to do a few more paintings on paper before I paint on canvas.

 

Stormy Field Acrylic Painting

I painted this on gessoed paper.  4 coats of gesso with the last one mixed with orange paint.  I like to paint with a colored background.  I used a very loose style on this painting.  I just wanted to paint my emotions onto the canvas.  I feel like there is a storm comming.
