Painting Adventures! « Amber-Mations

Phew! Is it really already 10 pm?? I've been working on  a painting for the past couple of weeks and I thought I'd post some in-progress photos (in case you thought I forgot about it–I DO finish some of my projects :-p).  I'm working on a Victorian House (which is actually some where in Sacramento  I think) and am now trying to make it less cliched.  When I started this painting it was actually just an experiment to see if I could still do this oil painting thing.  I'd put aside painting for over a year because of work and moving and moving and then work again and finally got settled and decided to come back to it.  Unfortunately the set up of this painting is way too over done, but I have two more canvases ready to start something more interesting.   Now I'm realizing that its an excellent stress relief (unfortunately I didn't discover this sooner–like last year >.<) and makes me really really tired–standing in front of that easel is just like exercise!
