My first ever oil paintings! The first time I used oil paints I knew I have found the ONE. Bye bye water color, bye bye acrylic. For the longest time I have been pushing away the thought of using oil paints for no apparent reason at all. What was I thinking?! Perhaps because I did not want to deal with all the baggage that comes along with mastering something new. Perhaps I was intimidated. Maybe because I disliked the notion of the medium "upgrading" the value of my art. Or perhaps I was insecure, that I wasn't ready to tackle it yet as an artist, much like how you would feel if you're a newbie actor asked to do justice a scene with De Niro or Streep. But a recent trip to the Guggenheim tramped all that nonsense. Many artists have used this media and stretched its limits, opening up new thoughts about visual perception and obliterating the boundaries of beauty and art. Now, isn't that something worth trying?
