Oil Paintings on wood, artwork in progress

Hey everybody!

I've been busy painting away, staying up really strange hours (went to bed at 10 am, got up at 4pm, lol I must be crazy haha), and just generally being productive.

One of my paintings, 'Secret Diary' is taking a damned long time to finish. I'm actually really loving this piece (which is a relief because I had to struggle through an awful ugly phase for a while there). The main reason why it's taking so long to finish is because I'm only working on it when I can record the process, so that I can make another video for guys on youtube. Buuuuut I don't always feel like painting at my desk where the tripod is set up, so I tend to avoid working on a piece for too long if I have to work there. I prefer to have my artwork in my lap.... maybe I'll try doing a video from that vantage point next time, haha!?

Anyway, here's a few progress shots of that one:

When I take breaks from paint 'Secret Diary', I've taken to dabbling with oils. :)

Annnd finally, a larger wip, that's just at the beginning stages. 

Thanks for stopping by! Wish me luck with these pieces (I'll need it, haha!) :)
