Oil & Water do mix

In other news, I recently completed an oil painting class with artist Brett Amory. I first met Brett at a figure drawing class in City College more than two decades ago. We were young, playful, aspiring artists.

I had been wanting to learn oil painting for a while now, and I thought I could teach myself, just as I taught myself how to paint with acrylics. However, oils present another level of complexity, and this is the new level of quality I am exploring in a fresh series of urban scenery and shadows.

This is the last painting project from the class. Inspired by one of my photos. There are two more paintings from this series already in progress. Stay tuned!
