Nowadays I don't do many oils, partly simply because I don't really have space to put them all while waiting for them to dry to the point where they can be packed away. But for some sorts of effects, nothing else will do. For many artists, oil is their "serious" medium; for me it's something to be playful with, and plaster on thick, juicy brushstrokes in uninhibited manner. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, but I always learn some thing in the process.

I decided to play around a bit with a palette knife, and liked it so much I may well make something of a switch in equipment.

Outbuildings on a farm

 Acrylics on Masonite, 10 x 15 cm:

SOLD

You see this often when traveling around the countryside: somewhat dilapidated, but clearly still used, buildings, sometimes seemingly in the middle of nowhere. I always wonder about them. What are they used for? Storerooms? Toolsheds? Why were they built in that particular spot? There are fun little mysteries all around us.
