Since I really enjoyed doing the small, detailed painting of Malta in oil paints, I think I'm going to explore with that a little more this year. It was a neat situation because, since I was away in France this summer, if I wanted to paint, it had to be on a small canvas so I could pack it and take it home. And I had to use oils because they were the only paints I had. I wasn't extremely excited about that, but it ended up to be a blessing in disguise because I discovered I really like working small and detailed and with oil! I took a vacation with my family to Malta at the beginning of the summer and I made sure to take some pictures of scenes I could paint, so I have all of those available photos. I think for at least the first part of the year I am going to use those photos to make small detailed paintings like I did for this first one. I'm excited to explore further!
