Let’s paint from life! Post whatever you like — landscapes, portraits, figures, interiors, still lifes, — so long as your work is painted primarily from life. I know it’s cold outside, but we can still paint still lifes, portraits — and landscapes out the window. Four guidelines:
1. Please work primarily from life — not from photographs or imagination. It’s okay to post finished studio works based on studies from life; in that case, please post the original study as well as the finished work.
2. Please submit something created in the last few months, not something you’ve done in the more distant past.
3. Please paint in oils. That said, please feel free to post studies in any other medium, so long as you also post your oil painting(s).
4. Please list the size of your painting and support. E.g., ‘”8×10″, oil on panel.’
Optional: Tell us the title of your painting!

I like your "Red, Yellow and Green Vegetables" a lot!
And thank you! 
. I find this thread helpful because here I can post many works that I would never post anywhere because I might feel that they are not maybe that good to post. But here they are fine to post I think, they get more lost. Also any painting that is a little bit better I can x-post to their own forums like still life, plein air.
