In Full Bloom

In Full Bloom, oil paintingYou can see the influence my pastels in this oil painting. This painting was inspired by dreams and a tulip farm near my home.

I began by drawing with oil paint sticks onto a canvas toned with Venetian Red gesso. As in pastel, I used the palms of my hands to rub the pigments down into the tooth of the canvas. I built layers of color with dry oil paint sticks. alternating with thin, translucent oil colors.
