I work with many different medias in my little studio but this is my favorite, Reverse Oil Art.....Painting backwards on Glass that dates back to early renaissance period. I use mirror to see what I'm doing and in this type of painting you paint detail first. If you make a mistake...you cannot fix it like you can on canvas with oil. It has taken many years to perfect, for me anyway.  They sell just about as quickly as I can produce one. I have sold many prints of this first one.

As you can see, HORSES are my favorite subject ( I wonder why ,lol)....but truly all animals. I have done several Pet portraits . I will share some of those later.

This was the first one I ever did. The local paper did an article on it. I can't wait to get back into this, but grandma duty has kept me pretty busy. I am hoping to start another one in a few weeks. They take along time to dry and are done in layers.

Okay, I showed you mine, now calling all artist on EX...you show me yours!!!!!

This isn’t a very good photograph, but I just wanted to share it with you because it reminded me of your photograph. This was done with water colors. Don’t ask me why, but the only thing I really enjoy painting is tree trunks. I love the textures and shadows on them.

I love doing tree bark also, thats beautiful!

Lovely!

There must just be something about trees!  I like to draw fallen, hollowed out, disintegrating tree trunks - with roots attached, if possible.  I can stare for hours to see the nuances, light and shadow.  I also love to do draping, folds.  I mostly work in pencil...too lazy to get one to share, though.  When I have some time I will try to remember!

Reminds me I should get back to that.  Used to take my sketch book for my walks in the woods by the river ---- although that was when I smoked.  Might have to be sure to have a Hershey Kiss handle, hmmmmm?

Yes I agree. I once saw a photography book called “Chaos in Nature” and ever since then I look at things around me in a different way. The “chaos” makes it more magical I think.
