"Mediterranean Fields" 14x18 inch oil painting on canvas Don't get into a rut of only painting tiny paintings like I did. Force yourself to paint bigger. This size was big for me. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

8x6 inch work in progress Oil on canvas panel I normally don't believe in posting work-in-progress photos, but I wanted to show you a "Pro-tones" canvas panel from Jerry's Artarama that's comes pre-toned in a "Sahara" color (which is an earthy orange). #oilpainting #art

"Ampersand Gessobord Landscape" 5x7 inch oil painting on hardboard I had six of these lying around for some reason, so I thought maybe I should learn how to use them. I painted a landscape similar to my Winton v. artist-grade test. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

These are some of the tubes of Winton oil paint that I bought for the big review that I'm still writing. Excellent paint at an affordable price. How does Winsor & Newton do it? Economies of scale and volume selling. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting

"Winton Landscape" 6x8 inch oil painting on canvas For my forthcoming review of Winton oil paint, I painted this landscape using only Winton, to compare with the experience of creating a similar painting with artist-grade paint. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

Tiny New York landscape #2" I ❤️ NY 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper I painted this in early May, so I was trying to capture spring colors. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting #aceo

"Tiny New York landscape" I❤️NY 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper Painting tiny, on paper, solves the problem of where to store your paintings. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting #aceo

"Artist-Grade Landscape" 6x8 inch oil painting on canvas For my review of Winton paint, I painted this landscape using only artist-grade paints. Then I will paint another one using only Winton, to compare the experience. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

"Small New York Landscape" 6x6 inch oil painting on paper You all know that New York is a big beautiful state full of mountains, lakes, forests, farms and quaint small towns, and it's not just a bunch of skyscrapers, right? I ❤️ NY #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

"Small Florida Landscape" 🌴 6x6 inch oil painting on paper I don't love this, I don't think I did a very good job with the sky holes in the tree. So, just an alla prima practice painting. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

"Tiny Florida Landscape #3" 🌴 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper. My theory is that in these days of realistic computer-generated images from text prompts, people are responding to analog paintings like mine that look slightly amateurish, because they have a more human look. #art #oilpainting

Working on a review of Winton oil paint for my Substack blog. Hard to believe it's the most ubiqutous brand of oil paint, but nobody has ever done a good review of it! Winton swatch is on the left, artist-grade paint swatch is on the right. #artist #oilpaint

"Tiny Florida Landscape No.2"🌴 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper. I think this paper surface photographs very well. Good for paintings that you intend to share on social media. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

"Tiny Florida Landscape"🌴 2.5 x 3.5 inch oil painting on paper. Two months ago I experimented with the concept of doing very tiny practice paintings. Not an original idea, I copied this from other artists on the internet. 😀 #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

5x7 inch oil painting on canvas (loose) When I paint small, I feel like I'm wasting my time instead of creating big paintings, but then I paint big and I'm not good at it and want to retreat to less intimidating small paintings. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

Misty Highlands 12x16 inch oil painting on canvas panel. I finished this painting back in March. An art influencer on YouTube said that 12x16" is the smallest size that's big enough for someone to consider hanging it in their living room. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

This is a 9x12 inch oil painting I did a few months ago of a Mediterranean landscape. I like how the colors came out, especially the little hints of orange/red in the foreground. I recall using pyrrole red as a mixing color for that. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

My 12x16 inch oil painting on canvas panel, Fall in the Adirondacks. I painted this in November. I live in Florida now, but I used to live in New York, and I miss the beautiful fall foliage we had. And I also miss mountains. I haven't posted anything on Bluesky in a really long time.

6x8" oil #painting, on Fredrix canvas. I tried to use the limited palette from the previous painting plus ultramarine blue, but wound up adding phthalo green and purple. Switched to mars black, which was a mistake; lamp black mixes better greens. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

6x8" oil painting, on Fredrix canvas. I took way too long with the last painting, so I forced my self to start and finish this the same day. I used a limited Zorn-type palette to simplify the color mixing. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

9x12" oil painting, on canvas paper. Another Florida landscape. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

9x12" oil painting, on canvas paper, of a Florida landscape, with palm trees. Can't believe it has been almost four years since I moved to Florida. #traditionalart #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

Hi Bluesky! Here's another 9x12" oil painting on canvas that I just finished. This time, going for a Florida vibe. #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

Hi Bluesky! Here's a 9x12" oil painting on canvas that I just finished. A while ago I decided I should try painting Florida scenes, but I backslid because I really like mountains. #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

Hi Bluesky! I haven't posted here in a while. Here's a 6x8" oil painting that I just finished. I decided I wanted to experiment with doing landscapes in vertical (aka portrait) orientation. What do you think? #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

12x16" oil #painting on canvas panel Florida landscape This one was hanging around only half finished for a long time. #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

9x9" oil #painting on canvas paper Florida landscape VII 9x9 is kind of a weird size, but if you have a 9x12" sheet of canvas paper, and you cut it into a square, that's what you get. #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

This is a cheap 6x6" frame from from Amazon, with an oil #painting on Canson Canva-Paper. Canvas paper is very easy and inexpensive to frame if you go this route. Just stick it into the frame in FRONT of the plexiglass. You don't have to mount it or anything like that. #traditionalart #oilpainting

6x6" oil #painting on Ampersand Gessobord Florida landscape VI Zorn palette + phthalo blue (red shade) I finally caught up with posting everything I painted during the last 6 months, and have nothing new to post. But there's a half-done painting on my easel. #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting

6x8" oil #painting on canvas paper Florida landscape V Painted alla-prima style using the Zorn palette + phthalo blue (red shade). Nobody on the internet (as far as I know) has ever talked about adding phthalo blue to the Zorn palette. I'm the first! #art #oilpainting #landscapepainting
