I'm trying to learn to paint with oils. This is based on an old house in Maryland that always got my attention. There is only one tree in the yard and it always felt kind of lonely. I wanted a less literal, more graphic feel so I'm OK with how it turned out in that respect. Mixing in too much solvent-free gel caused some blotchiness in the sky so I'll be more careful next time. I also learned that Ultramarine blue and yellow ochre could not make all the greens I needed so I had to add another yellow even though I was trying to stick to a limited palette. 16x16 oil on paper.
