        Hi all,
        My first attempt at an oil painting on my own at home without my art teacher’s guidance. I did this in about three hours tonight working alla prima.
        I painted from imagination but sketched it first.
        I used Galkyd Slow medium so it should still be workable for a few more days.
        Not sure if I should keep working on it or just leave it as is. Or if I should consider this a ‘study’ or a finished piece.
        C&C is welcome.

        “The Storm”.
        8 x 8″ oil on stretched canvas.

            Call it a study, Mario, and keep it for reference!
            If you call it a study, you evade the criticism that a “finished piece” might attract :lol:

                in the same way you made your more distant grass out of shorter and shorter brush strokes, do the same with your sky, as it nears the horizon.

                        It’s a nice concept and well executed.

                                Looks like a heck of a wind. In such a gale I would expect to see some leaves flying off the trees.

                                    hahaha. A friend told me that. I’ll add some I guess.
