New Medium - oil at last

Been having some fun this summer just messing about with oil paint for the first time ever. I like the feel of oils but hate the time they take to dry.

These are all 4x6 canvas board with no reference other than the images in my head - I just played around with the paint and

that is what came out. it has been fun, and I will definitely try something more ambitious with oils in the future. It is a shame I couldn´t get a better quality with the scans. Since I didn´t have my camera with me I had to scan them - oh well...

A blast from the past

Back in Portugal for a few months. Came across this watercolour that I did some time ago. As watercolours go, it has to be my best to date. The horse is called Baunilha, which means Vanilla, and it reminds me of the rides out we used to do in this area in the springtime. There was another that I found, which is also a watercolour of the mares and foals that were born quite some time ago. There are two new foals this year, but I haven´t had time to paint them yet!
