I really think that painting with gouache has taught me something about oils.  This little 7"x 5" oil painting is done an a Raymar canvas board.  What did I learn?  Slow down...use a variety of brushes....follow the contour with the stroke....work with value....simplify and keep important detail....there are probably more, but these were a few of the things I was aware of while painting.

Peach Peony....Day 24

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one.  It was really HARD!   So many petals going all different ways.  I am pleased with the results.  I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes!  I am happy with this painting however I got here.  This painting is found here :
