Study After A Maid Asleep, (Johannes Vermeer), work in progress (click on image for larger view)
This is a blog about painting: specifically, representational fine art, generally, using oil paint. I think a lot about what I'm doing, and those thoughts about subject matter, technique, influences, frustrations and delights all show up here. It's all about the journey.

Lifelong Learning
I worked on the little Vermeer project tonight, after spending the afternoon running around town.
I've been using a standard painting medium to increase the flow of the paint, and working some areas wet into wet. So far, so good; the subtle blends of shadow into light seem to be working well and I can get a soft edge in some places. I'm excited to see what the final version will look like.
