Description
This is my early attempts at oil painting. It's based on a pose in a photo reference by 19th century photographer Wilhelm von Gloeden. I'm basically happy with the figure. However, I feel the treen in the upper right background didn't work out like I wanted. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to hearing positive critique.Related content

Thank you. You are so kind to say so. I am very much self taught. I regret my technique is getting rusty. I have not had time to paint or create in a very long time. I hope to start again soon.

Thank you so much for your kind complement. I'm glad you enjoyed the work. There are so many digital artists on DA that I rarely get notice for my paintings. Thanks for the friend add also. You can check out more of my work at [link] and my blog at [link] .
