Oil Painting...

After years of "painting" with pixels, I decided it was time to try the real thing- I took an oil painting class with Tom Rojak at the Buffalo Arts Studio. Here's my first effort. It turns out painting in oil is a lot like painting in Photoshop, except that there's no undo command, it takes forever, and usually when you're done for the night you feel like taking your painting outside and running over it with your car. Tom's a great teacher, though, and it was a lot of fun.
