My dad cut me a bunch of plywood panels and I have been so excited to show you all what I have been working on to turn these panels into art! The flights were cancelled this weekend due to a tornado watch (in New York!) and our 4th of July plans were off, so I spent the time finishing up this painting I have been working on and sourcing some inspiration for my next project with my friend Erin.

I prepared the plywood panels with a thick coat of Blick Gesso.

This was my first time working with oils since college and it was fun to get back into it.

We've been going to a lot of museums lately and James always likes the portraits so I wanted to make him one of him.

The oil takes forever to dry!

There may be a few more adjustments but I am going to let this dry for now.
