Elephant Garlic

I'm trying to get the feel of oils right now by doing some simple (and small) still life paintings. It's exciting. I've been working with acrylics forever.

There's a buttery goodness to the oils that is quite satisfying.

Elephant Garlic. 8" x 10". Oil on masonite.

The thing that always gets me: paintings with expressive brush strokes look cooler up close.

Maybe I should attack the canvas with a bigger brush...
