I\u00b4m still experimenting with the oil paints. I found some old art-books, and am now reading about the technique.<\/p>\n

First I wanted to try a more abstract painting. I\u00b4ve wanted a big red painting for years, and thought it to be a good way to start experimenting. Here I added a orange-yellow part at the bottom and big pink rings in the red, to add interest.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately it\u00b4s really difficult to get all the colors right on the blog. There is a myriad of nuances in the red part here, that is just invisible in this photo.<\/p>\n

Isn\u00b4t it funny how you all of a sudden can see things more clearly when you see a photo of a picture you\u00b4re working with? I didn\u00b4t see until now that the poor girl does\u00b4t have a nose! She\u00b4s got a couple of other flaws too, I guess I\u00b4ll just declare her work-in-progress. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The bouquet of silk-draped paint-brushes is growing. I figure if I make some every day, eventually I\u00b4ll get them all finished.<\/p>\n

And this little guy is cute as ever. He\u00b4s been visiting us at the boathouse.&nbsp;All smiles, an itchy gum soothed by him chewing on his big toe!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u00b4s been more than a few years since I could do the same, I tell you!<\/p>\n
