Oil Painting #1

So, I just finished my first oil painting (I think).
To clarify, I think I just finished my first oil painting.
It definitely is my first painting using oil paints. I just think I'm finished.
I am trying to be finished.
Trying not to "touch it up" or "adjust" it anymore.
It's very difficult not to pick up a paintbrush and keep going.
Especially since the paint stays wet for approx 48 hours.
It's just sitting on my easel in my room, begging to be altered.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a picture...
Unfortunately, niether picture is too good, so I'll post both picture I took so you can get a pretty good idea of it.

Are you serious?!?!

You've got to be kidding me!

That looks absolutely amazing!

Of course, it may be lacking in person, as I'm sure you would contend, but from here it looks like you've got even MORE talent than we all thought.

Just ridiculous :)

I don't think there's anything 'lacking' about it! You've pretty much hit the jackpot!

I wasn't suggesting it WAS lacking. I was allowing her the 'out' of saying it looks better in picture form than in person. I know I would feel self-conscious of such overt surprise and joy.

Stick to your own comments... you'd already left yours! - or, why don't you spend time updating your own blog for once.
