"Once in a while" was not originally intended to mean years!

I had almost forgotten about this blog, and wasn't painting or writing much for several years anyway. But now I've picked up a paintbrush again, and have begun doing small oils, for practice. These are a few of them (and there are a few more in the previous post).

It's clear I need lots more practice (there are a lot of these little sketches that I'm NOT posting here!), but I'm happy to be painting again, and seeing some progress in my work.

You'll notice that the subjects for most of these are various vegetables. That's because I've just recently harvested my crops of container veggies.

These are some recent oil sketches.

I had to put these, which were done a a couple of weeks ago, in a separate post, as there apparently is a limit on the number of images per post.
