Just finished this landscape.

[Ocelot II]

A friend took the photo it's based on because of the red-headed woodpecker on the fencepost.

[lapucelle]

5. It's really beautiful.

Do you show or sell your work?

Tell us more...

Is it an oil painting? Is it large or small? How long did it take to paint?

[Ocelot II]

11. Thanks! It's an oil painting, 14" x 18."

It took about 3 weeks, working intermittently, letting it dry in stages. I don't sell or show my stuff; it's just for fun; I'll probably give this one to the photographer if he wants it.

21. You might consider yourself just a hobbyist, but you really have a gift.

6. I love it, Ocelot!

Your painting takes me away to a gorgeous and peaceful summer day. Love your rendering of the field and the white flowering plants. Very nicely done!

15. Insanely jealous!

What a beautiful piece. I especially like the way you handled the dark trees in the background. They give it an eerie feeling.

[Figarosmom]

16. I love doing landscapes.

This is pretty and certainly needs the red headed woodpecker. Reminds me of the fields in WV.


Mine are usually more expressionist instead of realistic though. I love the Favists.

[Skittles]

17. heh that was my first thought

this is pretty - hey wait, is that a woodpecker?

[czarjak]

18. Thanks for showing-off. I would too.

[GiqueCee]

19. A stunningly beautiful piece...

... and I love landscapes. I'm partial to watercolors, but they can be unforgiving. Being such vibrant and saturated colors, acrylics can be tough to tame. Your subtleties of tone are exquisite, and the light... damn, that's a nice painting.

If I can ever figure out how it's done, I'll post some of my work one of these days. I've been at it a while – 60 years in the profession – and I'm starting to get the hang of it.

[Ocelot II]

22. Thanks! I would love to see your work.

It's easy to do. Just take photos of your paintings and upload them to an image-sharing site like Postimages.com, which will give you a link for you to post here.

[GiqueCee]

24. Thanks for the advice!

I'll try to find Postimages.com and give it a try.
Think warm thoughts; this polar vortex is bound to let up sooner or later!

[Ocelot II]

28. It's Postimages.org - sorry!

[GiqueCee]

29. Thanks!

I was just about to look 'em up. I'll give you a heads-up when I get it all to work.
Take care
