Well, here's my first attempt at an oil painting in about three years or so. It may turn into something I enjoy, or end in total disaster. It's basically just of a photo I took this summer that I really like. Giant cow on Bell Island. I may post another image or two before it's finished.
(measures about 3.5' x 4.5')

Thanks Dave -- I never considered painting that way before. Of course, I don't know a whole lot about painting in general. Always assumed light to dark was best. I'll certainly give your way a try at some point. I really appreciate your advice.
Dave - a question: when you paint (like in the one there by your post, for example), do you use models, or what? How do you know how to paint the light, exactly? I haven't seen this dude walking around with a bird's head yet...
Cheers Dave, I really like to hear how other people work. Thanks for the insight.
