Working on my first honest to God oil painting--trying to remember how oils work is throwing me a bit...

It's sad in a way that computer technology has almost made oil painting and actual drawing obsolete..I was glancing through the latest issue of Illustrators and noticed that digital work out numbered the traditional paintings about 5-1.

I'm not knocking good digital work..some of it can be stunning and I've played around with it myself..But I find that I work better with tactile media..I have to feel the paper and brush..gotta get my hands dirty...

I have an idea for a painting and I hope my skills are enough to carry it off..nothing is more frustrating then having an idea lodge itself in your head and not be able to express it..Well, thanks for listening and thanks for all the positive comments on my last blog... you guys rule..
