'Amethystium' - 18 x 36 inches - oil on canvas



This is an abstract seascape with a crescent moon, and dramatic sky. I usually paint these types of abstracts in acrylic, but decided to paint this in oil.

It's funny how you like certain aspects of each medium, and you hate others. For instance, the quick drying time of acrylic can be both a hindrance, and a godsend, depending upon what you are doing! In this case, the slower drying time of the oil paint was a pleasure!
