About two years ago I started learning how to paint with oils. I used watercolors for many years and even then did not spend a lot of time painting. When I started with oils, I used the paint much like I did watercolor paint; very thin. I started painting some images from a whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon, but put them aside. I'm glad I did. I've learned a lot in the last few years and I think these paintings are better than if I had finished them before. In a few years, I may look back at these paintings and say "I could do better." I finished these paintings, and two below, in record time. It helps if you have 75% of the painting completed.

NOTE: A year later (2/21/12), I looked at the two canyon paintings and thought about taking them out of the frame to make some improvements. This is a good thing! I've developed better painting skills over the past year.
I took on one more commission before the holidays, but alas, my optimism about finishing before Christmas was a bit off. This is Bella at Brant Point on the island of Nantucket, MA.
