The long gap of 11 years or so made it a bit of a struggle to go back to Oil Painting. The colors didn't speak to me, if I had to get philosophical :D. It came back to me this time though. I could immdediately see the difference in my approach, in the way I mixed colors and applied them fearlessly. Of course, something my husband preaches could've helped a little - I had a plan!! So instead of getting too excited and working the strokes haphazardly, I looked up some youtube tutorials, went over a bunch of pictures online and decided to copy a picture I liked. I mean, I ain't no Picasso! It really helped - having something to look at. This was a good practice painting and I'm liking the product way better than the last one.
Here's the original painting: http://artmauve.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=708&zenid=f60522ef8adddbcb860741a477b965a9
And here's my version of it (simplified to suit my skill level). Please be lenient in the comparison as the original painting was by a pro =).
