My Latest Creation

I know this is far from perfection, but you know what, I'm pretty proud of this largish 28 x 21 in oil painting. From a photo I took up in the Wind River mountains. It is actually one of the only oil paintings I have. (long story, but one whole semester of my best oil work got thrown out because of a mis-communication at the HFAC. that was a VERY sad day for me). Anyway, you might recall a post a year ago where I documented starting this painting. (click here and scroll down for a couple 'work in progress' photos). Well, after a year of it just sitting in the kitchen, I made it a goal to finish it for our new home. Ta-da!

and someday, when we can afford to have it framed, it will grace the wall of my living room. But I really want the framing to be nice, so I'd rather save up for it then get something cheapo. Til then, I guess it can keep on curing in the garage. :)

please excuse the quality of this photo. There's definitely some glare, especially in the sky. taken from my phone.
