PB&J Painting
Here is an older painting done in oils on canvas board. It’s 4×6, and was done last year in 2015. It’s been staring at me as a constant reminder of my tug of war with painting. Most days I consider myself a horrible painter, and then when I finally paint, I’m reminded that I’m not Continue reading
